Ingredients
Directions
Prepare pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
Whisk eggs together in a small bowl; set aside.
Cook bacon over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes; drain excess drippings. Add frozen peas and stir for another 3 to 4 minutes or until just cooked through.
Add chopped garlic to bacon and pea mixture and cook about 1 minute (do not burn garlic).
Reduce heat to low and quickly stir in cooked pasta, egg mixture, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and toss. Stir in reserved pasta water a little at a time until creamy.
Turn off heat and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
