Ingredients

Kosher salt

1 pound spaghetti

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped 

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Freshly ground pepper

6 large eggs 

Finely chopped fresh chives, for topping

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a separate large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 7 to 9 minutes. 
  3. Add the pasta, 1/2 cup reserved cooking water and the parmesan to the pot with the bacon. Cook, stirring and adding more cooking water as needed, until coated; season with salt and pepper. 
  4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Top the pasta with the eggs and chives.

Excellent simple meal. I added garlic powder and oregano to the pasta as well during the final stages and it turned out fantastic. Drain a reasonable amount of the bacon fat to prevent the dish from being too greasy.
