Ingredients

350g dried spaghetti

1 spritz olive oil spray

6 rashers Asda Unsmoked Streaky Bacon, trimmed and roughly chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

2 medium free-range eggs

6 tbsp Asda Good for you Créme Fraîche

50g Parmesan, grated

2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Method

Add the spaghetti to a large pan of lightly salted boiling water and cook for 10 minutes or until just tender and al dente when tested with a fork.

While the spaghetti is cooking, squirt a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil spray. Add the bacon and cook over a high heat until it starts to crisp. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Turn off the heat and set the pan aside.

In a bowl, lightly beat together the eggs, reduced-fat crème fraîche and Parmesan. Season to taste.

As soon as the spaghetti is cooked, drain into a colander then tip it straight back into the pan. Reheat the bacon and garlic for a few minutes and add to the spaghetti with the egg mixture and parsley, if using. Toss together and serve immediately - theres no need to cook the pasta further at this stage as the heat from the spaghetti is enough to lightly cook the egg.
