Using the whole-grain rotini helps balance the unhealthy factor of the cream and bacon. You can use any pasta for it, though. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1/2 lb bacon, chopped |
12 ounces whole grain rotini pasta, uncooked |
4 eggs |
1/4 cup cream |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (plus extra to serve) |
ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until softened (not colored, though).
2. Add the bacon to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water.
4. Put the eggs, cream, and cheese in a bowl. Grind in plenty of pepper, then beat everything together.
5. Drain the pasta, then toss with all of the other ingredients, and serve immediately.
