Preparation:

Step 1
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the rest.
Step 2
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp.
  
  Add the spaghetti and reserved water to the pan and shake until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
• Add eggs, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and mix.
  
  Cook for about 1 minute until the mixture reaches the consistency of sour cream, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling and becoming omelet-like. Add the parsley.
  
  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
