Spaghetti with Eggs and Bacon

HERE'S ALL IT TAKES

2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 pound spaghetti
3 eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup freshly grated Romano
salt & freshly ground pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a medium fry pan, heat the oil and saute the bacon and the garlic until the bacon is brown. Remove & discard the garlic. Keep the bacon and it's drippings hot until needed.

Add salt and the spaghetti to the boiling water, and cook until it is al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, warm a large serving bowl and break the eggs into it. Beat in the the Romano cheese with a fork, and season with salt & pepper.

As soon as the pasta is done, drain it quickly, and mix it into the egg mixture. Pour on the hot bacon and ALL it's drippings. Yeah you read that right! Pour it on! Stir well. The heat from the pasta and bacon drippings will cook the eggs.

Serve immediately.
