How to Make Spaghetti with Bacon and Eggs

Time: 20 min.
Complexity: easily
Servings: 4 - 6

The combination of spaghetti and cheese, crispy bacon, and a fried egg is not only a delicious comfort food but also a quick breakfast or dinner that takes just a couple of minutes longer to prepare than the pasta. Place the spaghetti on the stovetop, and while it's cooking, fry the bacon and a fried egg. The cooked pasta is then tossed with the bacon and its flavorful rendered fat, which, when combined with melted Parmesan, turns into a sauce. Serve each serving with a fried egg, so that the yolk that runs out also becomes part of the delicious spaghetti sauce.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Set aside 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and discard the rest.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in another large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 7-9 minutes.

Add the pasta, 0.5 cups of the cooking water, and Parmesan to the pan with the bacon. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly. If the pasta seems dry, add more water; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the eggs on top of the pasta and sprinkle each serving with chives.
