Why This Recipe Is So Tasty
This dish combines the comforting flavors of breakfast with the heartiness of pasta, making it a unique and satisfying meal. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for any time of day when you want something filling but simple.
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the spaghetti and cook it for about 8 minutes, stirring now and then, until it’s still a bit firm. Drain and set aside. While the pasta cooks, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it occasionally so it browns evenly—this should take around 10 minutes. Once crispy, drain the bacon on paper towels, then crumble it up when it’s cool enough. Keep the bacon drippings in the skillet.
Step 2
Add the crumbled bacon back to the skillet along with the chopped green onion and garlic. Cook everything together over medium heat until the onion starts to soften, which will take about 5 minutes. Then, toss in the drained spaghetti and mix it all up well.
Step 3
Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and gently scramble them with the pasta for a minute or two. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Keep stirring everything until it’s all combined and creamy. Finally, stir in some diced tomatoes, give it one last mix, and you’re ready to serve.
