(It is suggested that an older person help with this recipe.)

1/2 pound (.23 kg) bacon

1 pound (.45 kg) fettuccine pasta

1/4 cup butter/margarine, melted

1/3 cup whipping cream

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crisp; drain, cool, and crumble.

2. Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions; drain well. Add the butter and toss to coat. Return to low heat and put a lid on the pan to keep the fettuccine hot.

3. In a small saucepan, heat the whipping cream just until warm; turn off the heat and stir in the eggs.

4. Remove the lid, pour the egg mixture over the hot fettuccine, and toss to coat until it is done. Add the bacon and cheese and toss again.
