Tom Cruise's Spaghetti Carbonara

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the spaghetti, cooking until al dente according to package directions.

While the pasta cooks, cut the Italian bacon into small cubes or bite-sized pieces.

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the bacon pieces to the pan and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until combined.

Drain the cooked spaghetti, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.

Remove the bacon and onion mixture from heat and add the hot drained spaghetti directly to the pan, tossing quickly to combine.

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot pasta while tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce; add reserved pasta water a little at a time if the sauce seems too thick.

Serve immediately on warm plates, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper if desired.
