Method

  1. In a pot, bring 1½ l of water with salt to taste to a boil.
  2. When it comes to a boil, add the spaghetti and cook for the time indicated on the package.
  3. Drain and set aside.
  4. Cut the bacon into small cubes.
  5. Fry the bacon in a skillet with the butter until all the fat has rendered and it looks golden.
  6. Add the spaghetti and the Parmesan cheese, mix well and stir for a few more minutes over the heat, avoiding sticking to the bottom.

  7. Beat the two egg yolks and remove any lumps they may have.
  8. Turn off the heat under the spaghetti and immediately add the yolks, stirring constantly. With the heat of the pasta they will integrate and form a smooth and delicious sauce; if you keep it on the heat, they will coagulate and form lumps.
  9. To garnish, add more grated cheese and sprinkle with a pinch of pepper and dried basil, which will give it a delicious aroma.
