- 1 pound linguine or other long pasta
- 4 strips thick cut bacon diced
- 3 tablespoons shallots chopped finely
- 2 garlic cloves diced finely
- 1/4 teaspoon dried chili flakes
- 2 eggs Fresh, room temperature
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley Fresh, chopped
- kosher salt
- pepper
- parsley
- Parmesan cheese
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and parmesan cheese. Once combined, mix in parsley. Set bowl aside.
- Add bacon to a large pan and turn burner to medium heat. Slowly saute the bacon until it becomes crispy and the fat has rendered down-about 10 minutes. While the bacon is browning, begin boiling the linguine in a large pot of salted water. Once bacon is finished, use a slotted spoon and transfer it to a plate covered with paper towels. Reserve one tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pan and discard the rest. Saute shallots in the bacon drippings until translucent. Add garlic and cook for an additional two minutes. Add chili flakes and cook for an additional minute. Transfer shallots/garlic mixture to a bowl.
- Once cooked, drain the hot pasta and quickly toss it in the eggs/cheese mixture until the "sauce" has thickened. Add all but two tablespoons of the crispy bacon and shallots/garlic mixture. Continue to mix until all items have been thoroughly incorporated. Check for seasonings and adjust with salt and pepper accordingly. Plate the pasta and sprinkle with extra cheese, parsley, and remaining bacon. Serve immediately.
