Ingredients

 

 

 

4 chicken breast, marinated, grilled and sliced

12 oz pack of bacon, diced small

1 onion, diced small

3 cloves minced garlic

4 eggs

1 cup grated parmesan

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1/2 cup of frozen peas

16 oz pasta, cooked al dente with 1/2 cup pasta water reserved

 

Fry the bacon until it is extremely crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside. Remove all except 2 tbsp of the bacon fat from the pan. Sauté the onions in the leftover bacon oil for 5 minutes over medium heat. Cook for 1 minute further, stirring frequently, after adding the garlic. Place aside. Place the pasta in a pot of boiling water and cook until al dente, as directed on the package. While the pasta is boiling, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.

 

When the pasta is done, save 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining and re-entering it into the boiling pot. While the spaghetti is still hot, slowly sprinkle in half of the egg mixture, stirring constantly. The sauce should thicken and coat the pasta. Add the frozen peas, bacon, and sautéed onion/garlic after half of the sauce has been added. Finish by adding the sauce and stirring until everything is mixed. Then, to aid with consistency, add the saved 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss in the grilled chicken and serve!
