CRISPY OVEN BACON AND EGGS
Bacon browns and crisps evenly in the oven without the hassle of flipping slices on the stovetop, while eggs can oven-fry alongside for perfect sunny-side-up runny yolks and tender whites. The oven's encompassing heat helps egg whites set on top before the yolks start to stiffen. Make sure to have the eggs sit at room temperature before cracking them into the hot pan: It ensures they'll cook quickly and evenly.

Steps:
- Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 8 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
- Take the pan out of the oven and quickly flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
- Using a spatula, cut the eggs apart. Slide them off the pan and onto plates right away to stop the yolks from solidifying. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then add to the plate along with toast. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti pasta until al dente. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and set aside.
- Meanwhile in a large skillet, cook chopped bacon until slightly crisp; remove and drain onto paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat; add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and heat in reused large skillet. Add chopped onion, and cook over medium heat until onion is translucent. Add minced garlic, and cook 1 minute more. Add wine if desired; cook one more minute.
- Return cooked bacon to pan; add cooked and drained spaghetti. Toss to coat and heat through, adding more olive oil if it seems dry or is sticking together. Add beaten eggs and cook, tossing constantly with tongs or large fork until eggs are barely set. Quickly add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and toss again. Add salt and pepper to taste (remember that bacon and Parmesan are very salty).
- Serve immediately with chopped parsley sprinkled on top, and extra Parmesan cheese at table.

Steps:
- Bring some salted water to the boil in a large pot for cooking the spaghetti.
- In a medium bowl lightly break and stir eggs with a fork and fold in about 1-1/4 cups of cheese.
- Slice the bacon rashers into small cubes or thin strips if you prefer.
- Use the edge of a knife to crush the garlic cloves without breaking them up too much. (You want the garlic cloves to remain reasonably whole)
- In a large skillet over a medium high heat pour the olive oil and add the garlic.
- While the garlic's cooking use a wooden spoon to press down on the cloves to release the flavour.
- After a minute or two add the chopped bacon and cook for about 5 minutes. (Don't let the bacon get crispy).
- When the bacon's cooked remove garlic cloves and turn down to a low heat.
- Cook spaghetti to packet instructions (al dente) and drain.
- In the same pot (used to cook the spaghetti) add a little olive oil and return the cooked spaghetti.
- Mix in the bacon and hot oil, egg and Parmesan mixture and chopped parsley tossing lightly with tongs. (The eggs, bacon and cheese should stick to the pasta) .
- Pour onto a warm dish and garnish with a little leftover parmesan and parsley.
- Serve with piping hot garlic or herb bread-- YUM!
Tips:
- Cook the bacon first: This will render the fat and add flavor to the dish.
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the eggs: You want them to be cooked through but still soft and runny.
- Use a good quality pasta: A good quality pasta will hold its shape and not get mushy.
- Season the pasta water: Seasoning the pasta water will add flavor to the pasta.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
