How to Make Italian Style Bacon Eggs

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 4 ounces of pancetta, diced, and cook until lightly browned and the fat has rendered (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and set aside, reserving the rendered fat in the skillet.
  4. Cook 8 ounces of spaghetti according to package directions in boiling salted water until al dente.
  5. While the pasta cooks, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon Italian herb blend in a bowl.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes and stir to combine.
  7. Once the spaghetti is cooked al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet with the rendered pancetta fat.
  8. Stir the spaghetti to coat it with the pancetta fat for about 1 minute.
  9. Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti and pancetta.
  10. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist (about 2-3 minutes). Do not overcook.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved pancetta and an additional 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
