Instructions

Step 1

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the spaghetti and cook it for about 8 minutes, stirring now and then, until it’s still a little firm to the bite. Drain the pasta and set it aside. While the pasta cooks, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it occasionally so it browns evenly. This should take around 10 minutes. Once it’s crispy, drain the bacon on some paper towels, let it cool a bit, then crumble it up. Don’t toss out the bacon drippings—keep them in the pan.

Step 2

Add the crumbled bacon back to the skillet along with the chopped green onions and minced garlic. Cook everything together over medium heat until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Then, toss in the drained spaghetti and mix it all up so the flavors come together.

Step 3

Next, pour the beaten eggs over the pasta mixture. Stir and scramble everything gently for a minute or two until the eggs are cooked and nicely combined with the pasta. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, then sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give it another good stir to blend all those flavors. Finally, fold in the diced tomatoes, and it’s ready to serve.
