Instructions

1 Caramelize onion

Peel and finely slice the onion. Heat a non-stick pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 5 min until browned. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook for 10 min further or until the onions have fully softened and caramelized. Transfer the caramelized onions to a plate, reserve the pan.

2 Boil spaghetti

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook for 8-10 min until 'al dente' or cooked to your liking. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water.

3 Fry bacon

Meanwhile, finely slice the beef bacon. Peel and crush the garlic. Add the bacon to the reserved pan. Heat the pan over a medium-low heat and slowly fry the bacon for 5-6 min or until the fat has melted and the bacon is crispy. Add the garlic and fry for a final 1 min. Add the caramelized onion (see tips for fussy eaters). Remove the pan from the heat.

4 Mix sauce

Separate the egg whites and egg yolks. Discard the whites, or save them for later use (see pro tip). Add the egg yolks to a bowl. Grate the Parmesan and add 3/4 of it to the bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.

5 Prep salad

Rinse and dry the rocket. Quarter the cherry tomatoes. Add both to a bowl and set aside. Just before serving, season the side salad with the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and a small pinch of salt and pepper.

6 Combine

Whisk 100 ml of the starchy pasta water into the egg and Parmesan mix. Return the bacon pan to a medium heat. Add the Parmesan mix to the pan and quickly whisk until smooth. Add the spaghetti and toss. Divide among plates. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a grind of black pepper and the remaining Parmesan. Serve with the side salad.
