Ingredients
- 250 gram Spaghetti Other pastas can also be used
- 250 gram Bacon Good quality
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 pcs. Onion
- 5 gram Butter
- 5 gram Lemon Juice
- 50 gram White Wine
- 100 gram Parmesan
- 3 pcs. Egg
- 200 gram Cream
- Spices Salt and pepper

Instructions
- Start by boiling the pasta, cooking it 1 minute less than the package recommends.
- In this case, the spaghetti was cooked for 7 instead of 8 minutes.
- Cut your bacon into smaller pieces and place it in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry it until crispy and remove from the pan.
- Chop the onion and garlic into small pieces and fry them in butter and the bacon fat.
- When they have gained a bit of color (become golden), add the white wine and let it simmer on low heat for 2 minutes.
- In the meantime, mix eggs, cheese, cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and stir well. Pour this into the pan along with a bit of the pasta water.
- When the pasta is done in the water, add the almost fully cooked pasta to the sauce and let it simmer and set for 2 minutes.
- Grate some parmesan on top and garnish with basil.
- Serve with some bread. For example, this durum bread.
