1. Cook pasta for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes less than the package directions to prepare the pasta al dente.

2. Dice the bacon into small strips while the pasta is cooking. 

3. Test the pasta by biting into a piece. If there is a small amount of white in the middle of the noodle and the pasta is slightly firm, it is cooked al dente.

4. When the pasta is cooked, strain the pasta and set it aside. Do not rinse the pasta.

5. In the same pan you cooked the pasta, add the chopped bacon and sauté until cooked but not crispy—about 3 minutes on medium heat. 

6. When the bacon is cooked, remove the pan from the heat, and add the cooked pasta. Mix the pasta and the bacon very well.

7. Crack the eggs into the pasta and turn vigorously and quickly to combine all the ingredients well. Mix for about 2  minutes. 

It is important to remove the pan from the heat, so it is not too hot; otherwise, this will cause the egg to cook and scramble instead of creating a creamy sauce.

8. Serve right away with freshly ground black pepper.
