Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fettuccini pasta

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  1. Over medium low heat, add the bacon and cook until done but flexible.  Sauté shallots and garlic until soft.  
  2. Turn off heat.  Add cream, parmesan cheese, and egg yolks to the shallots and bacon.  Mix well.
  3. Boil pasta until al dente.  If you're using frozen fresh pasta about 6 minutes.  If it's not frozen, 4 minutes.
