This is absolutely one of my favorites!  I love, love, LOVE this recipe!  Super easy, and soo good!  Ahh, I can't explain just how good it is!
Time: Less than 30 min.
Enjoy!


Ingredients:

1 lb. Spaghetti
½ lb. Bacon, cooked until crispy
1 C. Fresh or frozen peas
¾ C. Cream
2 Eggs
¾ C. Parmesan Cheese
4 Garlic cloves, minced
1 Medium white onion, finely diced
¼ t. Nutmeg
½ t. Salt
8 Grinds of fresh ground pepper

Directions:

Cook the bacon until crispy and drain well on paper towels. Then crumble in to small pieces. Set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the pan and remove the rest. You will use this to cook the onions and garlic. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.

Cook the pasta according to the packages directions. Meanwhile, in a bowl, add the eggs and whisk until all creamy yellow. Add the cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg and parmesan cheese. Combine together.

When ready to serve, drain the pasta and return to the pan. Take off the heat. Add the cream/egg mixture and stir together with the pasta. The hot pasta will cook the egg. Then add the peas, bacon and onion mixture and stir well. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra peas, parmesan and bacon. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
