30 minThis is weeknight pasta at its finest. Crispy diced bacon gets a hit of red pepper flakes, green onions soften in the rendered fat, and then the whole thing gets tossed over hot spaghetti with beaten eggs and a generous shower of Parmesan.
The heat from the pasta gently cooks the eggs into a silky, clinging sauce. It’s the same principle behind a classic carbonara, stripped down to the bare essentials with no cream in sight.
Five minutes of prep. Twenty minutes of cooking. Dinner for four, done.
Chef Tips
- Hot pasta is key: The spaghetti needs to be piping hot when you add the egg mixture so the residual heat cooks the eggs into a creamy sauce rather than leaving them raw.
- Toss fast: Work quickly when combining the eggs with the pasta and bacon. Constant tossing prevents the eggs from scrambling into chunks.
- Adjust the heat: The red pepper flakes are subtle at ⅛ teaspoon. If you like some real kick, double or triple it.
