- In a large nonstick skillet with high sides heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat, add the bacon and cook for a few minutes until the bacon starts to cook and crisp at the edges but it’s not totally cooked. Remove from heat.

- Plate and serve immediately.
- Note: The heat from the pasta cooks the egg.
