Ingredients:


8 ounces sliced bacon -- (about 10 slices), -- cut into 1 inch strips

8 ounces dry thin pasta -- (vermicelli) or

9 ounces angel hair pasta

2 cups sour cream

1/4 cup chopped chives or green onions -- thinly sliced ,

4 large egg yolks

1 cup grated parmesan cheese
 

Preparation / Directions:


In a wide fry pan; cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Spoon off and discard all but 3 TBSP of the drippings; keep pan with bacon warm over lowest heat. In a 5 - 6 quart pan; cook pasta in three quarts boiling water just until tender to bite (3 minutes for dry capellini. 8-10 minutes for dry vermicelli, and 1 to 2 minutes for fresh angel hair pasta); or cook according to package directions. After adding the pasta to the boiling water, spoon 1/2 cup of the sour cream into each of 4 wide, shallow bowls; place bowls in a 200F oven while completing cooking. Drain pasta well; add pasta and chives to bacon in the pan. Mix lightly, using two forks. Spoon an equal portion of pasta mixture into each warm bowl. Make a nest in the center of each; slip in an egg yolk. Mix each portion individually and sprinkle with cheese.
