In my family, we are all big pasta eaters so we are always on the hunt for new pasta dishes. Even better, when we can incorporate some fresh veggies, especially now that summer will be coming soon & we can use veggies from the garden. And who doesn’t love bacon?! My older daughter is a bit obsessed with bacon, so if there’s a dish with bacon, she is much more likely to eat it (she’s our picky eater).

If you are not an asparagus fan, you could always substitute another vegetable that you prefer such as zucchini, squash and more.

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
5 strips of Bacon, diced
8 oz of pasta (any that you prefer) – we used Cavatappi pasta
4 oz fresh asparagus (slice into ribbons)
5 cherry tomatoes, quartered or 1 large tomato, diced
1/4 small onion (sliced)
dash of pepper
2 tbsp parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk eggs & 1/2 cup parmesan together. Mix in the pepper.

In a frying pan, saute bacon, garlic, onion, tomatoes & asparagus

Cook pasta in salted water until just perfectly cooked. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water

Add some of the pasta water in small amounts to the egg yolk mixture until the consistency is thick and not pasty.

Add the pasta to the frying pan with the bacon and asparagus mixture.

Slowly add the egg mixture to the pan, adding more pasta water if the mixture is too thick. You are looking for a saucy consistency. Take the pan off the heat after several minutes.

Turn the pasta dish onto a serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese you reserved.

This dish makes a nice, light spring or summer pasta dish, full of yummy veggies but also with that bacon & parmesan cheese to give it some bold flavors as well. I love that it is fairly simple to make without a lot of extra prep time so you can get dinner on the table fairly quickly if it’s a busy evening.
