- Beat eggs in a large bowl.
- Add milk and grated cheeses, set aside.
- Set a pot of water on the stove to boil.
- While you are waiting for the water to boil, chop up the red onion, garlic and bacon.
- When the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pasta to cook (it will take about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes).
- While the pasta is cooking, heat up a skillet with the olive oil and throw in chopped bacon.
- Cook for about 30 seconds, then add red onions.
- Continue to cook until pasta is al dente, reducing the heat for the bacon and red onion to low.
- Let it continue cooking on the stove.
- Transfer the pasta to a colander to drain, and then immediately pour it into the bowl with the egg, cheeses and milk mixture.
- Mix the pasta in with the mixture thoroughly.
- When the bacon has turned a darker colour (but not burned!
- ), add chopped garlic and continue cooking until all the bacon is cooked to the crispiness that you prefer.
- Remove from heat and pour the contents of the skillet (bacon, onions and garlic) into the pasta and sauce.
- Mix thoroughly again, adding the pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
