Ingredients:
- Egg yolk -3
- Parmesan cheese (grated) plus extra to serve -40g
- Deydom Black Pepper -To taste
- Spaghetti -200g
- Bacon -200g
- Clove of garlic (crushed) -1
- Extra virgin olive oil -1 or 2tbsp
- Chopped parsley (optional) -1 tbsp
Method:
- Put the egg yolk into a bowl, add parmesan cheese, season with pepper, then mix well with a fork and set aside.
- Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente (firmly cooked).
- Add oil and garlic to a pan and leave the garlic to flavour the oil for 1 minute.
- Stir in the bacon, then cook for 4 minutes or until it starts to crisp up.
- Pick out and discard the garlic from the pan.
- Reserving some of the cooking water, drain and add the spaghetti. Toss well over the heat so it really soaks up all the flavour, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Add a splash of the cooking water and toss well, season with pepper, then pour in the egg mixture. The pan will help cook the egg gently, rather than scrambling it. Toss well, adding more cooking water until it’s glossy or just enough to prevent it from drying out.
- Garnish with Parmesan and parsley if used; and serve.
