In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso paste, sambal oelek, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Add the eggs and whisk again. Finally add the parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of hot pasta water. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Cook pasta according to package instructions in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.

Step 4

Add the chopped bacon to a large bowl. Immediatly add the cooked pasta and egg mixture to the same bowl. Quickly toss everything together so the eggs don't scramble. Add hot pasta water as needed. The heat of the pasta and pasta water will cook the eggs.
