Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water, and return pasta to the pot.
  2. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble when cool.
  3. Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Crack eggs into it and cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Toss pasta with bacon, reserved pasta water, ½ cup of the Parmesan, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
  5. Divide pasta among bowls and top with eggs. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
