Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/4 | Extra virgin olive oil |
| 1/2 | Bacon |
| 1/2 | Dry white wine |
| 3 | Eggs |
| 3/4 | Parmesan cheese |
| 1/4 | Pecorino Romano cheese |

Instructions:
-
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and set a large heatproof serving bowl on the rack. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot.
-
-
While the water is heating, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, but not smoking.
-
Add the bacon to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, approximately 8 minutes.
-
Pour in the dry white wine and simmer until the alcohol has cooked off and is slightly reduced, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
-
In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, Pecorino Romano cheese, and garlic cloves using a fork.
-
Once the water comes to a boil, add the spaghetti and 1 tablespoon of salt, then stir. Cook until al dente.
-
Reserve 1/3 cup of pasta cooking water and drain the pasta for about 5 seconds, leaving it slightly wet.
-
Transfer the drained pasta to the warm serving bowl. If the pasta is dry, add some of the reserved cooking water and toss to moisten.
-
Immediately pour the egg mixture over the hot pasta and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sea salt flakes or 3/4 teaspoon of table salt. Toss well to combine.
-
Pour the bacon mixture over the pasta, season generously with black pepper, and toss well to combine.
-
