Sam's Birth Day Spaghetti Carbonara

Add spaghetti to boiling water; when soft, drain & rinse; drop in butter, stir, keep warm & set aside.

While spaghetti is cooking, fry bacon just until lightly crisped; remove from pan and cut or crumble to bite-size pieces; reserve 2-3 T. fat.

To hot fat in frying pan, add pepper flakes and garlic; stir for 30 seconds; remove from heat.

Break eggs into medium bowl, with an egg beater beat until frothy, then stir in Parmesan cheese; set aside.

Add half-n-half to frying pan, stirring up fond and thickening slightly.

Dump spaghetti into large serving bowl, then add meat mixture and toss well; then cheese mixture, toss well.

Sprinkle on the parsley.

Serve with additional Parmesan (the good stuff).
