Ingredients

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 8 ounces bacon (8 strips), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large head frisee, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 4 large eggs
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Method

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water; drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 7 minutes, pouring off and reserving rendered fat halfway through.
  • With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
  • Add frisee to skillet and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring, until frisee just begins to wilt, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in vinegar and transfer to bowl with pasta.
  • Add reserved pasta water and toss to combine.
  • Return skillet to medium heat and add reserved bacon fat.
  • Working in two batches, fry eggs until whites are just set and edges are golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve pasta topped with bacon, Parmesan (if desired), and a fried egg.
