Ingredients:

1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
4 eggs
200g
1 dash salt
0.40g
8 bacon strips
100g
8 oz whole-wheat pasta
230g
1 onion
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely dice the onion.
- Cut the bacon strips into small pieces.
2. Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the whole-wheat pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes around 8-10 minutes.
- Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
3. Cook the Bacon and Onions:
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon pieces to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the bacon is crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the diced onion and cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, dash of salt, and dash of black pepper until well combined.
5. Combine the Pasta and Bacon:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the onions and toss to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the pasta, stirring continuously to scramble the eggs. Cook until the eggs are just set but still soft, forming a creamy sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
- If the mixture seems too dry, gradually add some reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Add Cheese and Bacon:
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Add the crispy bacon pieces back into the skillet and mix thoroughly.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the bacon scrambled egg pasta to serving plates or a large serving bowl.
- Sprinkle additional parmesan cheese and black pepper on top if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm.

Tips:

- Cook the bacon until crispy to ensure it retains its texture when mixed with the other ingredients.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly for a smoother and fluffier scramble.

- Salt the pasta water generously to enhance the flavor of the pasta.

- Grate your own Parmesan cheese for a fresher and more flavorful result.

- Reserve some pasta water to adjust the consistency of the sauce if needed.

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and to make cleanup easier.

- Consider adding vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition and color.
