Spaghetti Boscaiola

Ingredients:

Spaghetti
Butter (a good sized Dob)
Onion (Medium sized - chopped)
Bacon (2-4 Rashers, sliced into bite sized pieces)
Eggs (2-4 Large)
Extra Dob of Butter (a good rounded teaspoon)
Cracked Pepper

Method:

Put the water on to boil the Spaghetti.

Chop onion into small pieces.
Take the rind and extra fat off the bacon and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Heat Butter in a frying pan until it is melted and just starting to bubble.
Add chopped Onion into frying pan and fry until it becomes golden and a little transparent.
Add Bacon and a dash of Cracked Pepper to frying pan and fry until cooked.

Cook Spaghetti while Onion & Bacon are frying.

Beat eggs and extra dob of butter in a bowl and set aside for now.

Remove the frying pan from the heat if Onion & Bacon are done before the Spaghetti is cooked.

Drain the Spaghetti and rinse under cold water in a colander - making sure it is well drained before adding to frying pan.

Reheat Onion & Bacon if the frying pan has been taken off the heat.

Once the Onion & Bacon are sizzling again - add well drained Spaghetti and stir everything in together well.

Turn the heat down to low.

Lightly re-beat egg and butter mixture and add to the frying pan - stirring the egg mixture through the spaghetti with a fork.

Once the egg mixture is well amongst the Spaghetti use an egg-lifter to turn the mixture over, scrapping the bottom of the frying pan to make sure the egg isn't setting only on the bottom.

Voila! Spaghetti Boscaiola!!
