Preparation procedure

First, heat water for the spaghetti in a pot.
Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients.
Crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.
Grate the Parmesan finely. Don't be stingy with this fragrant cheese; I used almost all of it.
Put the grated cheese into a larger bowl.
First, cut the bacon into smaller pieces.
Then fry it in a pan.
Pour the cream into the pan with the bacon and let it warm over low heat. The cream must not boil.
Add 4 yolks to the Parmesan and mix into a paste. If the paste is too thick, you can add another yolk.
Then add a few tablespoons of the pasta water.
Stir until a thinner mixture forms.
Season it with salt and pepper.
While stirring constantly, pour this mixture into the cream with the bacon and let it all warm through.
Put the cooked spaghetti into a large bowl and pour the sauce over them.
Stir and serve.
You can grate more Parmesan on top and garnish with parsley or basil.
