BACON & EGG PESTO SPAGHETTI
Serves 4 Prep 5 mins Cooking 20 mins
375g spaghetti
4 Coles Australian Free Range Eggs
6 bacon rashers, excess fat trimmed, thinly sliced
190g jar basil pesto
½ cup (40g) shaved parmesan
1. Cook the spaghetti in a saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well, reserving ½ cup (125ml) of the cooking liquid.
2. Meanwhile, fill a deep saucepan two-thirds full with water. Bring to the boil over high heat. Crack 1 egg into a small cup. Use a large spoon to stir the water to create a whirlpool.

Repeat with remaining eggs.
3. Heat a large non-stick deep frying pan over high heat. Cook the bacon, stirring, for 5 mins or until crisp.
