INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 15 minutes
- Servings: 4 servings
- Preparation Time: 15 minutes
- 12 ounces Linguine noodles
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 6 ounces (7 slices) bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
DIRECTIONS
Cook pasta according to package directions; reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Parmesan/Romano cheese and 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and pepper; gradually whisk in 1/4 cup of the warm reserved cooking water.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes; add the pasta to the skillet and toss to coat.
Transfer the pasta and bacon to the bowl with the egg mixture and toss until the noodles are coated (if the mixture seems dry, stir in additional reserved pasta water 2 tablespoons at a time).
Serve immediately and sprinkle with additional Parmesan/Romano cheese and pepper, if desired.
