Instructions

  1. 1. Fill a large pot with about 5 liters of water and add salt. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil.
  2. 2. Peel one onion and one clove of garlic. Cut both ingredients into small cubes.
  3. 3. Place the bacon cubes in a cold pan. Turn the heat to medium-high and fry the bacon for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Do not use any additional fat.
  4. 4. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, the chopped onions, and the garlic to the pan with the bacon. Continue to fry everything over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  5. 5. Add the spaghetti to the boiling salted water. Cook the pasta for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente (firm to the bite).
  6. 6. Take out one cup of the pasta water and set it aside. Drain the remaining pasta in a colander. Do not rinse the pasta with cold water.
  7. 7. Add the cream to the pan with the bacon and onion mixture. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook it over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  8. 8. Grate the Parmesan finely. Put the grated cheese into a bowl.
  9. 9. Add 2 egg yolks and 2 to 3 tablespoons of the previously saved pasta water to the bowl with the Parmesan.
  10. 10. Whisk the egg and cheese mixture vigorously with a whisk until a smooth paste forms.
  11. 11. Add the hot spaghetti and the hot bacon-cream sauce directly into the bowl with the egg-cheese mixture.
  12. 12. Stir everything immediately and thoroughly so that the sauce becomes creamy and the pasta is evenly coated.
  13. 13. If the sauce is too thick, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons of pasta water and stir until the desired consistency is reached.
  14. 14. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Divide the spaghetti onto deep plates and serve the dish immediately.
