1
First, boil some salted water for the pasta.
-
2
Add a few squirts of olive oil; itll help keep the pasta from sticking together.
-
3
Chop the 1/2 onion and set aside.
-
4
Then cut the bacon into pieces about 1/2 inch wide.
-
5
Cook the bacon in a saute pan over medium heat until more than halfway done, then add the onion.
-
6
Cook until bacon is crispy and the onion is cooked.
-

Put it on a plate with a few paper towels to absorb some grease.
-

Cook the pasta in the pot of boiling water according to package directions.
-
9
While all that is cooking, crack 4 eggs, put them in a bowl and mix them.
-
10
Set aside.
-
11
Then measure your 1 cup of cream, and put it in the microwave for about a minute until its hot to the touch.
-
12
Now were going to temper the eggs.
-
13
If we put the eggs into the hot pasta, theyll just scramble and thats not what we want.
-
14
So we will take a few tablespoons of the eggs and put them into the hot cream, stirring the entire time.
-
15
Then SLOWLY mix the cream into the rest of the eggs, stirring with a fork or whisking the entire time.
-
16
Once you have a warm, creamy sauce, add the parmesan cheese and set aside.
-
17
Drain the pasta and put it back into the pot.
-

Immediately stir the creamy sauce into the pasta and stir it until evenly coated.
