  2. Meanwhile, cook bacon until crispy, about 7 to 8 minutes over medium high heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 1 minute and remove from heat. Cool it for 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg yolk, cheese and bacon and garlic mixture. Mix with a spoon. By now, your pasta should be cooked perfectly al dente; add cooked pasta into cheese mixture and toss everything together. Egg will cook by the hot pasta. If the texture is too thick and not mixing well, add a couple tablespoons of past water to thin it out.

  4. Add parsley and black pepper and toss one last time. Transfer to a serving plate and top with extra cheese if you like. Serve immediately and enjoy!
