  • While onion cooks, cook spaghetti until al dente. Drain and add hot pasta to pan with onions.
  • Top with cream mixture, cooked bacon, parmesan cheese and butter and toss to completely coat pasta. {Might take a few minutes to get everything well coated.} Sauce should be very light. Garnish as desired with fried oregano, parmesan shaves & pancetta strips.
