Ingredients:  
1 pound Spaghetti
6 ounces bacon, chopped
1 cup of onion, small onion, chopped
1 cup green onions, Trimmed & chopped

Directions:
Directions:
+ Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Slip Spaghetti into the boiling pasta water & stir.
+Cook Bacon in skillet over medium heat until fat has mostly rendered, about 4 to 5 mins. (If bacon is lean, you can add a drizzle of olive oil to help start rendering of the fat)

+Push bacon to one side of the pan & add the onion. Let both cook separately until onion is tender, about 5 minutes, then mix the two back together. (If you like, you can drain the bacon fat here & replace it with olive oil)

+Ladle 4 cups of pasta water into skillet with the bacon & onion, bring to rapid boil & quickly reduce the sauce. Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks with 1/4 cup hot pasta water in small bowl. When the sauce has reduced by about half & spaghetti is cooked, scoop pasta into the sauce with tongs. Add green onions, pepper & salt to taste.

+Toss pasta until its coated in the sauce & the green onions are wilted. Remove the pan from the stove & quickly mix in the egg yolks, stirring until creamy. Toss the pasta with the grated cheese & serve immediately.
