Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until it’s just tender but still has a bit of bite, about 8 minutes, then drain and set aside. While the pasta is cooking, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it now and then until it’s nicely browned and crispy, which should take around 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the bacon on paper towels, let it cool a bit, then crumble it. Keep the flavorful bacon drippings in the pan.

Step 2
Next, toss the crumbled bacon back into the skillet along with the chopped green onion and garlic. Cook everything together over medium heat until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and give it a good stir to combine.

Step 3
Now pour the beaten eggs over the pasta mixture and gently scramble everything together for a minute or two until the eggs are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle in the Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder. Keep stirring until everything is well mixed and creamy. Finally, stir in the diced tomatoes, and it’s ready to serve.
Why you’ll love it

How to serve
Serve hot with a sprinkle of grated cheese and fresh herbs like parsley or chives. A simple green salad or roasted vegetables make great side dishes. For extra richness, drizzle a little olive oil or melted butter over the top.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the eggs tender. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the eggs and pasta may change.
