Instructions

1.Cook pasta

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain reserving some of the cooking water ( cup for serves 2, and cup for serves 4-5). Set pasta and cooking water aside.
2. Cook bacon & prepare zucchini

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook bacon for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp. Cut zucchini into long ribbons lengthways using a vegetable peeler. Add zucchini, garlic, and chilli to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
3. Prepare egg mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and grated parmesan. Set aside.
4. Combine ingredients in pan

Return spaghetti to the pan with bacon fat and mix well on a medium heat. Once hot, remove from the heat. Working quickly, add egg and parmesan mixture and reserved cooking water. Stir very quickly in one direction until a sauce forms. Return zucchini and bacon to the pasta and toss to combine.
5. Serve

Serve pasta with a sprinkle of extra parmesan, and garnish with fresh parsley leaves.
