Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
12 slices thick-cut, applewood-smoked bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup dry vermouth
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup whipping cream
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest. Chop bacon when cool enough to handle.
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and onion to reserved bacon fat in the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour vermouth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 1 minute. Mix in chopped bacon.
Drain spaghetti, transfer to a large serving bowl, and mix in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add bacon-onion mixture, Parmesan cheese, cream, eggs, and pepper to the hot pasta; stir until spaghetti is well coated and sauce is creamy.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for thick-cut bacon, fresh eggs, and a flavorful hard cheese.
Render the bacon slowly over medium heat to ensure that it is evenly cooked and crispy.
Beat the eggs and cheese together in a bowl until they are well combined. This will help to prevent the eggs from scrambling when they are added to the pasta.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water.
Add the cooked bacon, eggs, and cheese to the pasta and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved cooking water until the desired consistency is reached.
Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with additional grated cheese and parsley.
