Method

1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the pack.
2. Meanwhile, chop the bacon and fry it in a large frying pan over a medium heat for 5–6 minutes until crisp. Take off the heat.
3. Finely grate the Parmesan and whisk it with the eggs and black pepper.
4. Scoop out a mugful of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and tip it into the bacon pan. Toss well and leave for 1 minute to cool slightly.
5. Pour in the egg mixture with a splash of the pasta water and toss quickly until the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta. Keep the pan off the heat so the eggs don't scramble; add more water if it's too thick.
6. Serve straight away.
