Bacon and eggs aren’t just for breakfast anymore – not when you add pasta! Try this easy recipe for bacon and eggs spaghetti tonight!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces spaghetti or other long pasta
  • 1 slice bread
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 8 slices bacon, cut into one inch pieces
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Toasted fresh bread crumbs (optional but so nice)

Instructions

  1. To make the bread crumbs, whirl a slice or two of fresh bread in your food processor and sauté the crumbs in a small skillet with a teaspoon of olive oil and a little salt and pepper until they are golden.
  2. Cook pasta in heavily salted water according to package directions. Scoop out a cup of pasta water before you drain it and set aside.
  3. Cook bacon pieces in a large skillet until crispy. Remove from the skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Cook eggs in the same skillet (yes, in the bacon drippings!) until soft set, about 4 minutes. You can cook them either sunny-side-up or over easy, so long as the yolk stays creamy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add bacon, cheese, butter and pasta to skillet and add enough pasta water to make a light sauce. Toss, taste and and salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Divide pasta among plates, top each with an egg and break the yolk so that it melts down into the pasta. Garnish with toasted bread crumbs if using (I hope you are!) and serve!
