Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Toss the peas, garlic and scapes into the fat and cook for another 1 minute. Add the spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the pasta in the bacon fat. Beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg mixture into the pasta, stirring quickly until the eggs thicken. Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water. Season the sauce with several turns of freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt. Garnish with chopped parsley.
