What You Need

8 oz (250 g) spaghetti

8 slices side bacon, diced

3/4 cup (175 ml) thinly sliced green onions

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) finely shredded Canadian Cheddar* cheese

Salt

Pepper

Hot chili pepper flakes

1/2 cup (125 ml) finely shredded Canadian Cheddar cheese

Chopped parsley

Instructions

Cook spaghetti according to package directions.

Meanwhile cook bacon in large frypan until crisp. Drain, reserving 3 tbsp (45 mL) drippings; set bacon aside. Return reserved bacon drippings to frypan and cook green onions until tender.

Drain spaghetti and return to saucepan. Add eggs to hot pasta and toss well to coat. Add 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) Canadian Cheddar cheese, cooked bacon and green onion mixture to pasta and continue tossing until cheese melts and coats spaghetti. Add salt, pepper and hot chili pepper flakes to taste.

Serve immediately, sprinkled with 1/2 cup (125 mL) Canadian Cheddar cheese and parsley.
