Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and quartered
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
12 oz. linguine or spaghetti
4 slices bacon, preferably thick-cut
2 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks
1/4 c. grated Parmesan

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. On a large baking sheet toss asparagus with oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast until tender and charred, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water, and return to pot.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain half the fat.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and egg yolks, and Parmesan. Season generously with salt and pepper.
To skillet with remaining bacon fat, add cooked linguine and egg mixture and stir until coated. Add enough pasta water to make a loose creamy sauce. Stir in roasted asparagus and bacon and serve.
