Ingredients

1/2 pound Bacon
4 Eggs; beaten
1/2 cup White wine
3 tablespoon Unsalted butter
12 oz Thin spaghetti
1/2 cup Grated Italian cheese
Black pepper

Directions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2
While pasta cooks, chop bacon into small pieces. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until lightly crisp and rendered. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan.
3
Reduce heat to low. Add butter to the skillet with the bacon fat. Let butter melt and combine with the fat.
4
Pour white wine into the skillet. Let it simmer gently for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly and cook off the alcohol.
5
Remove the skillet from heat. Slowly whisk the beaten eggs into the wine and butter mixture, stirring constantly to create a creamy, scrambled texture without curdling.
6
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. Toss vigorously with the egg mixture, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time if needed to loosen the sauce.
7
Stir in the crispy bacon and grated Italian cheese. Season with black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
