Cook the pasta

Step 2

Add in the pasta and boil.

Make the sauce

Step 3

Crush 2 cloves of garlic into the pan and fry until fragrant

Step 4

Add in the 125g of bacon bits, and fry until almost cooked (they'll cook more in the sauce)

Step 5

Throw in the 250ml of cooking cream and cook until bubbles start forming.

Step 6

When the cream has reached a boil, take off the heat and pop in 1 egg yolk. Stir the egg in rapidly to avoid the egg scrambling and combine with the sauce.
