INGREDIENTS

Main Ingredients
- 🥓 ½ pound bacon, cut into small pieces
- 🥚 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 🥛 ¼ cup heavy cream, at room temperature
- 🧀 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 16 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
- 🧈 ¼ cup butter, softened
- 🌿 ¼ cup chopped parsley
- Ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Beat together eggs and cream in a medium bowl until just blended. Stir in Parmesan cheese and set aside.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and return pasta to the pot.

Add softened butter to the pot and toss with pasta until butter is melted. Add bacon and egg-cheese mixture. Stir until the heat of pasta cooks eggs, then garnish with parsley and black pepper to serve.
