Most folks are surprised to see this combination of ingredients. But I usually make a big batch because it always disappears in a hurry.

I made something similar by accident...I fried onion and chopped left over ham...then added cooked angel hair to the pot with the ham and onions...kept heat low and gently heated a bit, then added 1/2 and 1/2...just added enough to make a sauce, heated it gently...then added parmesan...good kind grated...and stirred it up...just a minute to melt the cheese( the 1/2 and 1/2 has to be heated..before adding the cheese)..don't over heat the cheese...when it starts to melt. store..turn off the burner and cover....a little s and p or a pinch of ceyanne....sooo good...sometimes I add frozen peas to the ham and onion mix...and taw them...or mic them a bit....this is so good...made with bacon and onions...but need to drain the fat some....a easy great dish with a salad or side of veggie!! You could also mic some spinach or broccoli and add in...so good with a sprinkle of parm on top!!!! This is great....at the cabin w/a glass of wine..
This is a nice dish with a tasty mixture of flavors. I think that angel hair pasta would be better for this recipe.
5000 stars. It does need a bit of green-- maybe parsley.
This recipe has been a family favorite since it was first published in Country Woman! Unfortunately, I lost some of my issues of CW, TOH, & QC when we moved, along with some of our favorite recipes. This one was recently requested by our youngest daughter who barely remembers it but would like to enjoy it again.Have to admit I'm rather surprised at some reviewers' attempts to make this dish "healthy." Our daughter-in-law who works as a cardiac charge nurse in the cardiac intensive care unit of a large metro hospital has told me that cardiologists now recommend cooking with bacon fat! That's all she uses! So, give up the disgusting whole wheat pasta (school kids throw away their lunches because of its horrible taste!), etc. Make it as printed & enjoy it! Add whatever flavor additions your family would like, but don't try to improve on a great recipe!
I was skeptical about this recipe, but figured I would give it a try. I am very happy I did. This dish was amazingly delicious! It's a good mixture, that I am excited to make again. It has a good blend of flavors and very simple to make.
This recipe barely has any ingredients and I wanted to almost add something extra but resisted. I am glad I did my husband really liked this recipe as is. He said it is very creamy and has a good bit of saltiness with the cheese and bacon.
I was really hungry one morning and decided to make a much smaller version of this dish, and was blown away... I didn't have any bacon but it was really nice and smooth and creamy, and very satisfying. Yum. This field editor says "Bravo!"
I made this recipe as it was written but served with pesto on the side for my family to add as they pleased. Another reviewer's addition of onion when frying the bacon along with fresh ground pepper would be something I'd try if I make this again. I always add garlic paste along with a dash of salt when cooking pasta, so I would not need to add garlic to the onion/bacon mixture. Overall I liked it, but without the pesto, it was a little bland. Note: I used 1/2 of a 16 oz. box of thin spaghetti but didn't use all of the egg, cream, cheese mixture. Maybe would try using the entire box the next time or a thicker noodle such as fettucini.
Looking forward to trying this..I love to eat healthy, but eating healthy does not mean complete abstinence from fat... I love that taste of home includes this type of recipe. Thank you...
I haven't made it yet but I plan on it,sounds really yummy to me,I think it would be good to with some green onions in it to..
