Instructions

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the bacon and dry-fry for 2-3 minutes, then turn off the heat.

Step 3

Lightly beat the eggs, season to taste and stir in the creme fraiche, 1 level tbsp Parmesan and most of the chives.

Step 4

Add the bacon to the drained spaghetti and mix well over a low heat, then remove from the heat and stir in the egg mixture. Toss thoroughly so that the eggs thicken in the residual heat, making a sauce that coats the pasta.

Step 5

Scatter over the remaining Parmesan and chives and serve hot.
