Ingredients

8 servings

•

0.5 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
•

4 eggs, room temperature
•

0.25 cup heavy cream at room temperature
•

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

•

16 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
•

0.25 cup butter, softened
•

0.25 cup chopped parsley
•

ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Beat together eggs and cream in a medium bowl until just blended. Stir in Parmesan cheese and set aside.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and return pasta to the pot.
Add softened butter to the pot and toss with pasta until butter is melted. Add bacon and egg-cheese mixture. Stir until the heat of pasta cooks eggs, then garnish with parsley and black pepper to serve.
