Ingredients :
- 2 Chicken breasts sliced
- 400 g Spaghetti

Directions :
- Cook spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.
- In a separate pan, fry the bacon or pancetta until crisp.
- Add the sliced chicken breasts to the same pan and cook until golden and cooked through.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan until well combined.
- Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve a cup of the pasta water and then drain.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan with chicken and bacon, toss to combine.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture, stirring rapidly to coat the pasta and create a creamy sauce. If too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time.
