    Ingredients

    • 1 pound linguini
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 6 ounces thick cut bacon or pancetta, diced
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 1/2 cup diced sweet onions
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup pasta water
    • 1 cup pecorino, parmesan, or Romano cheese
    • 3 eggs
    • 3 tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
    • ½ teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg

    1. In a stainless steel bowl, beat the 3 eggs, grated cheese, cream, nutmeg and parsley- set aside.
    2. Place the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon, and cook until it becomes crispy and brown. Remove the bacon and set on a paper towel. Add the sweet onions and garlic to the pan and cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until caramelized.
