Method

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to the packet instructions.
  • In a frypan, cook the bacon over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes, cook for 2 minutes.
  • Loosely drain the pasta and add to the fry pan (keeping some water for moisture so it doesn't stick). Add the parmesan cheese, pepper, peas, parsley and toss through. Just before serving, add the rocket/kale and chives then toss.

To Serve

  • Serve in a shallow pasta bowl, placing the egg on top. Using your cutlery, break the egg yolk allowing it to ooze over the pasta creating a delicious and natural sauce.
