Method
- Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Add minced garlic towards the end to infuse the oil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and grated Parmesan cheese, seasoning with black pepper.
- Toss drained spaghetti in the skillet with the bacon, remove from heat, and quickly pour in the egg-and-cheese mixture, stirring vigorously. Add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick and garnish with parsley.

Notes
Always grate your own Parmesan for the best texture. Pre-grated cheese can affect the sauce's smoothness.
Don’t skip the black pepper; it’s essential for balancing the richness of the dish.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water, as microwaving can dry it out. Enjoy this creamy dish fresh for the best experience!
