Ingredients

  • 7 slices of thick-cut bacon (I used half streaky and half back bacon)
  • 1/4 cup thickened cream
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 an onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • Handful of parsley and oregano, finely chopped
  • Spaghetti for 2
  • Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Break the egg into a bowl. Add cream and mix thoroughly. Set aside for later use.

  2. Chop up the bacon into fat pieces. Add a tablespoon of oil into a heated non-stick pan. Add in the bacon and let them cook for about 5 minutes.

  3. Add in the onions and cook until almost transparent. Throw in the chopped garlic.

  4. Cook the pasta into a pot of boiling salted water. Remove the pasta 2 minutes short of the stipulated cooking time.

  5. Add the pasta to the pan of bacon. Add parsley and oregano. Mix thoroughly. Pour the pasta into a heated bowl. Pour in cream mixture and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
