¼ cup heavy cream #44161
4 large organic eggs #33521
½ lb Seed to Sausage double smoked bacon #76625

DIRECTIONS
- Makes 4 sevings
Drop the spaghetti into the boiling salted water and cook according to package instructions, about 6 to 9 minutes or until al dente, or tender but still firm to the bite.
Meanwhile, add diced bacon to a sauté pan and cook slowly over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels.
Combine the eggs, cheese, cream and olive oil in a bowl and beat with a whisk until completely mixed.
Scoop out 1/2 cup of the pasta water and set it aside. Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot along with the bacon. With the pot off the heat, add the egg and cream mixture and stir briskly while the sauce thickens up. You can adjust the consistency with some of the reserved pasta water.
Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with the chopped parsley and freshly ground black pepper. Serve right away, with additional grated cheese if desired.
