Thin strands of spaghetti tangle with crumbled bacon and a cheesy cream sauce, and the result is nothing short of a kitchen triumph. Though the flavors are similar to those in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spaghetti-carbonara\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spaghetti-carbonara\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">spaghetti carbonara<\/a>, the Italian version contains no cream, instead emulsifying the eggs and pasta water into a creamy sauce.

I doubled the recipe and found it served 5 adults well (plus a little leftovers for the next day!)  The only changes I made was to use skim milk for the half and half, and I added salt.  I felt like it took nearly 10 minutes to cook the spagetti with the egg coating.  Overall, quick, easy, great tasting food.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"2565","romance_copy_dek":"You\u2019ll love how quickly this skillet pasta with bacon and eggs comes together\u2014and how good it tastes.","enhanced_recipe_title":"Spaghetti with Eggs and Bacon","rms_legacy_data":{"RecipeCategories":null,"Ingredients":[{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"8 ounces uncooked spaghetti","IngredientText":"8 ounces uncooked spaghetti"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"4 large eggs","IngredientText":"4 large eggs"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3\/4 cup half-and-half cream","IngredientText":"3\/4 cup half-and-half cream"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese","IngredientText":"1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 pound bacon strips, cooked and crumbled","IngredientText":"1\/2 pound bacon strips, cooked and crumbled"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"Additional grated Parmesan cheese, optional","IngredientText":"Additional grated Parmesan cheese, optional"}],"FeaturedImage":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/1200x1200\/Spaghetti-with-Eggs-and-Bacon_EXPS_TOHD24_2565_KristinaVanni_6.jpg","RecipeId":2565,"AttachmentSourceId":null,"AttachmentSource":"Kristina Vanni for Taste Recipes","PhotoCredit":"Spaghetti with Eggs and Bacon Recipe photo by Kristina Vanni for Taste Recipes","VideoCode":null,"RecipeAttachmentFileName":"Spaghetti-with-Eggs-and-Bacon_EXPS_TOHD24_2565_KristinaVanni_6.jpg","ContributorId":null,"Firstname":"Gail","Lastname":"Jenner","City":"Etna","StateDescription":"California","IsCommunityCook":false,"TimeCallout":"Prep\/Total Time: 25 min.","MinimumServingQuantity":4,"MaximumServingQuantity":4,"Yield":"4 servings.","DigitalTitle":"Spaghetti with Eggs and Bacon","SubmittedTitle":"Spaghetti with Eggs and Bacon","RecipeTypeId":1,"AverageRating":4.44,"WebPublishedDate":"1\/1\/2018 12:00:00 AM","ContestPlacementId":null,"FbImage":"FB_TOHD24_2565_KristinaVanni_5.jpg","PreparationTimeInMinutes":10,"CookTimeInMinutes":15,"TotalTimeInMinutes":25,"ServingDescription":null,"IsTestKitchenCertified":true,"IsContestWinner":false,"IsCommunityRecipe":false,"PublishedProjectTitle":"Spaghetti with Eggs & Bacon","OriginalSourceProject":"Spaghetti with Eggs & Bacon","ContestPlacement":"","Trailer":null,"Metadescription":null,"DigitalHeadnotes":null,"FreezerDirections":"","FreezerDirectionsTitle":"","HTMLTitle":null,"RecipeVersionNumber":null,"WorkflowStatusId":9,"Directions":[{"Direction":"In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook spaghetti according to package directions.
