This isn’t a difficult dish to make if you follow my instructions, especially about removing the pan from the heat and letting it cool a little before adding the eggs to the pasta. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will scramble instead of creating that silky smooth sauce. This makes for a great dinner on busy nights, since it takes less than 15 minutes to make and uses simple ingredients you may already have on hand. It also features bacon, and you can never go wrong with bacon! If you want to add some vegetables, a simple side salad would be a great accompaniment.
