fry bacon in plenty olive oil

cook spag

mix two egg yolks with half a pot of double cream and lots grated parmesan

mix spag with bacon/oil

mix in egg/cream/cheese mix and stir off heat

stuff face

actually half a pot too much

a couple of tablespoons or none if you havent got it

ONLY USE YOLKS, NOT WHITE

by adding cream straight away and not boiling

you could always try it Thai style

I once ordered it in Thailand and got a bowl of soup with spagetti bits in, a half cooked egg floating round in it and bits of bacon - like they'd got the ingredients but not the recipe iykwim

makes me laugh whenever I eat it now
sorry, hope it didn't make you feel too queasy

fry chopped bacon/pancetta, add finely diced onion fry until golden
mixlots of parmesan and enough cream in a jug you can add an uncooked egg at the final point when you drop hot spag into the bacon mixture if you really want.
Lots of black pepper
mix the bacon onion pasta togethers on the heat, then add the cream and parmesan.
you can also do up a thin white sauce if you do not want cream and add that to the mix instead.

NO ONION!!!!

not for you maybe enid...

in my world there is only me

A huge sin, cream and mushrooms= gag

garlic, mushrooms, cream + parmesan = yum

I like without cream. Although cream and garlic and mushrooms, oh slaver [drool]

enid you're pregnant and we know you're talking madness
I like mushrooms too but I get slated by my mother as she waorked in italy for yrs and is a bit of a bore on the subject, complete to authentic fag ash on the pasta too
BLEURGH

lol

yes without cream is good actually it should really be creme fraiche so just leave it out.

bacon , olive oil and rosemary is nice

i'm thinking of cream and mushroms now and feeling queasy, two things that should never be paired, also fish and cheese, grim

and if you're really not into slicing and dicing schwartz do a little mix

bacon + rosemary = divine

fish + cheese = abomination

I've developed a different way to do it coz I can never get fried bacon crispy enough. I put slices of bacon and chopped up whatevers (depending on what I've got - usually red pepper and mushrooms, sometimes onion but quite like it without) in a baking try, drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven. for the sauce I use an egg, bit of cream (or splash of milk if I haven't got cream) pepper, bit of grated cheddar (strong stuff, nothing weedy) and fresh basil. mix it all up and stir through the hot spag in the saucepan but not on the heat - the heat of the spag and the saucepan cooks it enough. Parmesan on top. mmmmm.
