Ingredients

• 8 slices of bacon
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 8 ounces spaghetti or fettuccine

Directions

1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and chop into small pieces.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, maple syrup, black pepper, salt, and chopped parsley.
3. Cook the spaghetti or fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well.
4. In the same skillet used to cook the bacon, pour out all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
5. Add the cooked spaghetti or fettuccine to the skillet with the bacon fat and toss to coat.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and quickly toss to coat the strands evenly. The residual heat will cook the eggs.
7. Add the chopped bacon to the skillet and toss again to combine.
8. Serve immediately and garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
