1-teaspoon Crushed peppercorns

¼ pound Smoked bacon

2-cloves Garlic

3-tablespoons Olive oil

½-cup White wine

1-tablespoon Salt

1-pound Spaghetti

2-large Eggs

Sliced and chop bacon into small pieces, peel and chop garlic and set garlic and bacon aside. Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Place bacon in small frying pan, stirring occasionally, just until it starts to brown. Add garlic and cook, stirring for about a minute, add crushed red pepper flakes. Add wine and cook until liquid is reduced by about half; remove from heat and set aside.

Toss to coat pasta; pour bacon mixture on top of pasta and toss to combine thoroughly; place in baking dish; preheat oven to 350 degrees; top with remaining Parmesan cheese and bake for ten minutes; remove from oven and serve immediately.

Serves 4 to 6

Note: If you don't like it spicy just leave out the Red pepper flakes or reduce the amount of Red pepper flakes.
