Ingredients

170 g of spaghetti
125 g of vegan bacon
2 eggs
20 g of grated parmesan
1 clove of garlic
10 g of oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook the spaghetti in a large amount of water until al dente (do not overcook!!!).
Cut one clove of garlic in half and fry it over medium heat with 125 g of vegan bacon.
When the bacon is fried, remove the garlic, add the cooked spaghetti and a small amount of the pasta water in which the spaghetti was cooked. I added 120 g. Mix well, add salt and black pepper (it is delicious if it is freshly ground black pepper). Remove from the heat.

Prepare the sauce

Stir 2 eggs with a fork and add 20 g of grated parmesan.
When the pan stops sizzling (and do not forget to remove from heat before!), add egg-parmesan sauce and mix quickly (do not put on fire!).
Sprinkle the parmesan on top and serve.
