Method
Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted boiling water as the packet says, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the bacon into strips and fry it in a dry pan over medium heat for 5 minutes until crisp.
Beat the eggs with the grated Parmesan and plenty of black pepper.
Drain the pasta, keeping a cup of the cooking water, and toss it with the bacon off the heat.
Pour in the egg mixture with a splash of the water and stir quickly until creamy, without letting the egg scramble.
