3
Brown chopped bacon in a large, 10-12" skillet over medium heat then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the bacon grease in skillet. Add enough extra virgin olive oil to the skillet to equal 2 Tablespoons fat total then add shallots and brussels sprouts, and then season with salt and pepper. Turn heat up slightly then saute until brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized, ⏱️ 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic then saute for one more minute. Add cooked bacon back into the skillet then stir to combine and remove skillet from heat.

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted, boiling water until al dente (add the pasta to the boiling water when you start sauting the brussels sprouts and shallots). Use tongs to transfer the cooked pasta into the skillet with the brussels sprouts mixture then pour in the egg/parmesan cheese mixture and start stirring with tongs to evenly coat the pasta, adding a little bit of pasta cooking water at a time to make a smooth sauce. Transfer pasta to plates then serve topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
