Spaghetti alla Carbonara

Ingredients:
1 pound spaghetti
3 large eggs
1 tbsp heavy cream
1 1/2 cups lean bacon cut in cubes
2 tbsp fresh grated Parmesan
salt and black pepper

Directions:
In a large nonstick skillet cook the bacon just enough to melt
the fat but not so much that it becomes crispy. Drain.
In the mean time prepare the spaghetti as directed.
Don't put too much salt in the water
because the bacon itself is already salty.
In a bowl add the eggs, the heavy cream, the Parmesan,
1 pinch of salt and a good pinch of pepper.
Beat all the ingredients with a fork until well mixed.
When the pasta is ready add it to the bacon, the skillet
should be still warm. Quickly add also the eggs mixture
and mix until well coated. Be careful not to cook the eggs,
the sauce should be creamy.
Serve immediately.
