["Combine the egg yolks (reserving the whites for another use), cream, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. Let stand at least one hour, until room temperature. Do not skip this step!", "Start the water for the pasta, adding the tbsp of salt when it boils. Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet with high sides, fry the bacon pieces until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan to a paper towel, and drain all but 1 tbsp of the fat. The water for the pasta should come to the boil at about this point, so add the spaghetti noodles.
