Method
1. Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook bacon, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Add garlic, cook for 30 seconds, set pan aside.
3. Place eggs, yolk, cream and Parmesan in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, mix gently with a fork.
