Pasta, eggs, and cheese make a deliciously quick, easy, and unique meal for a mid-week dinner or weekend brunch. This may sound unappetizing to some but trust me--the eggs combined with the Parmesan make a rich, creamy sauce that pairs perfectly with the pasta.
Ingredients
- 1 package spaghetti , 8 ounce
- 4 slices bacon
- 0.25 cups sliced green onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic , or more to taste
- 4 large eggs , beaten
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 cups diced fresh tomato
Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes. Pasta should still be firm. Drain.

At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon drippings in the skillet.

Return crumbled bacon to the skillet with green onion and garlic; cook in the drippings over medium heat until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add drained spaghetti and mix well.
