🍳 **Ingredients:**

- 8 oz spaghetti

- 4 oz bacon, diced

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 eggs

- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- Salt and black pepper

- Fresh parsley (optional)

🔪 Step 1: Gather Ingredients

- Dice the bacon and mince the garlic.

- Beat the eggs in a bowl and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

🍝 Step 2: Cook Spaghetti

- Cook the spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.

🥓 Step 3: Cook Bacon

- In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy.

🧄 Step 4: Add Garlic

- Add minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.

🍳 Step 5: Combine Ingredients

- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the bacon and garlic. Toss to combine.

🥚 Step 6: Add Egg Mixture

- Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture. Toss the spaghetti continuously to coat it evenly. The heat from the pasta will cook the eggs, creating a creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to thin the sauce.

🌿 Step 7: Garnish and Serve

- Season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious carbonara!
