Let's cook
Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Turn off the heat and leave the bacon and 2 tbsp of the fat in the pan.
Whisk the eggs, Parmesan and 1 tsp pepper in a bowl.
Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water, adding the peas for the last minute. Save 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Add the hot pasta and peas to the bacon pan off the heat. Pour in the egg mixture with 1/3 cup pasta water and toss quickly and constantly until creamy and steaming hot (the eggs should thicken, not scramble). Add more pasta water if needed.
