Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package dry spaghetti

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix

  • Coarsely ground black pepper, to taste

  • cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 ounces diced bacon

  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.

  2. While the pasta is cooking, whisk the eggs, yolks, Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix, a small pinch of black pepper, and cheese together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute for about about 5 to 7 minutes, until beginning to crisp.

  4. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Add pasta to the skillet with the bacon over low heat. Stir to coat the pasta. Transfer pasta and bacon to a bowl, add the egg mixture and a small amount of the reserved pasta water for creaminess. Toss well to coat. Serve immediately with extra cheese for garnish.

Cook's Note:

Feel free to use pancetta in place of bacon.
