02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Cook Pasta and Bacon

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until it’s just firm to the bite, about 8 minutes, stirring now and then. Drain and set aside. While the pasta is cooking, 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, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble it up when it’s cool enough to handle. Leave the bacon drippings in the pan.

02

Saut Onions and Garlic

Next, add the green onions and garlic to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook over medium heat until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Toss the drained spaghetti into the skillet and stir everything together. Slowly pour in the beaten eggs, stirring constantly to scramble them with the pasta. This should take 1 to 2 minutes.

03

Season and Mix

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Keep stirring until everything is well combined. Finally, fold in the diced tomatoes, give it one last mix, and serve while it’s warm.

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use pasta shapes that hold sauce well, like penne or fusilli, for the best texture.
- Cook the eggs gently to keep them creamy rather than rubbery.
- Add fresh herbs at the end to brighten the flavors and add a fresh touch.

Why you’ll love it

This dish is a fun twist on typical breakfast foods, blending comforting pasta with morning flavors. It’s quick to make and satisfying any time of day, especially when you want something warm and filling without much fuss.

Serving ideas

Serve with a side of toasted bread or a simple green salad to balance the richness. A sprinkle of grated cheese or a dash of hot sauce can also enhance the dish and add extra flavor.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the pasta from drying out.
