    Ingredients

    • 1/2 lb campanella pasta
    • 4 slices bacon, chopped
    • 1/4 cup garlic scapes, cut into 1/4 inch coins
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
    • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
    • 1/2 cup freshly grated romano cheese

    Directions

    1. 1Set a pot of water to boiling on the stove and cook the campanella pasta (or desired shape).
    2. 2While it’s cooking, cook the bacon over medium heat until browned. Remove the bacon pieces with a slotted spoon and add the garlic scapes. Cook until soft (2-3 minutes). Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. (Drain both the bacon and the garlic scapes on a paper towel).
    3. 3Whisk together the eggs, salt and red pepper flakes.
    4. 4When the pasta is done, quickly remove it from the stove and set a different burner to low heat. Drain the pasta and add it back to the pot, on the burner set to low. Stir in the garlic scapes and bacon. Add the egg mixture and stir feverishly for 3-4 minutes until sauce is thick and creamy. Don’t let it overcook or it will be gloppy. Sprinkle the romano cheese in, a little at a time, and stir to combine. Don’t add it all at once or it won’t mix through out the pasta as well (since it will clump).
    5. 5Serve immediately.

    This recipe didn't have a lot of flavor, nor was it very presentable. But, if you love cheese like me, this is a good recipe to use the leftover cheese. I also tried using truffle oil to cook the garlic to give a little more taste to the meal.
