Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and return to pot with a drizzle of olive oil. Keep warm.
- Sauté diced bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving drippings in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add finely diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes until onions soften and garlic is fragrant.
- Add shrimp and chopped asparagus to the skillet. Cook stirring often for an additional 4-5 minutes until shrimp are pink and asparagus is tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolks, parmesan, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Combine the warm, drained spaghetti with the shrimp and asparagus mixture in the skillet, tossing gently.
- Pour in the cream and egg mixture while the pasta is still hot, stirring vigorously for about 1-2 minutes over low heat to create a creamy sauce.
- Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately, preferably with extra parmesan cheese on top.
