Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the spaghetti, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Set aside.
Prepare the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
Combine Everything: Return the skillet with the bacon fat to medium heat. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta with the bacon fat.
Add the Sauce: Remove the skillet from the heat. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti while continuously tossing the pasta to coat it evenly. The residual heat will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Add the Bacon: Once the sauce is evenly distributed and the spaghetti is coated, add the cooked bacon to the skillet and gently toss to combine.
Serve: Divide the Breakfast Carbonara among serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately while it's hot and enjoy your delicious breakfast!
This Breakfast Carbonara is a hearty and satisfying dish that's perfect for starting your day on a delicious note!
