4 slices bacon, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 ounces of pasta

Fry the bacon and chopped garlic in a large skillet with the olive oil.
Add the hot pepper flakes. Cook on low heat for 12 -15 minutes until
all the fat is rendered from the bacon and the bacon is brown. Beat the
eggs in a bowl with the Parmesan. Cook the pasta until tender, about
10-12 minutes.

Drain and place in a serving bowl. Quickly spoon over the bacon
mixture. Toss. Quickly stir in the eggs and cheese, add some salt and
lots of pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

I'm thinking either the noodles had cooled a bit or as another pointed
out there was still water in the noodles. We drained it by tipping the
pot over and straining it through the gap in the lid.

This recipe made one portion with no problems.
