10slicesbacon,cut into small pieces
3large eggs yolks
½tspkosher salt
¼tspcoarse ground black pepper

Instructions

Cook the pasta in a large pot to one minute less than the directions on the box and keep ½ cup of pasta water to the side to drain pasta. Do not rinse pasta.
In a large skillet add the bacon and cook it until crisp then turn off the heat and remove the bacon with a slotted spoon. Add the pasta and toss it in the bacon fat.
Add the eggs, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese to a large bowl and whisk well before adding slowly while tossing the hot pasta quickly to prevent it from scrambling.
Add in ¼ cup of the pasta water and peas, tossing again to create a saucy consistency to the pasta then topping with bacon before serving.
