Bacon and egg spaghetti with greens and herbs from Dinner in One: Exceptional & Easy One-Pan Meals (page 111) by Melissa Clark

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I felt I had a fair amount of pasta water in the pan when I added the egg mixture. I added the spinach (I added a 5 oz box, not the 8 oz) and herbs and covered per directions, but the dish became much drier by the time it hit the table. We used bucatini, and there was probably about a cup of pasta water in the pan but probably should have had more. The dish was very goopy, although the flavors were good. We like MC's carbonara recipe in Dinner better so probably won't repeat.

    Everything about this recipe was excellent except one thing: the pepper. Recipe calls for 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt but 1 TABLESPOON freshly ground black pepper. My not-very-refined-cooking-intuition said DON'T DO IT, maybe this is an error in the book, cut back on that pepper. But my rule following self got the best of me and I trusted the recipe as written and the result was TOO MUCH PEPPER. We ate it begrudgingly but complained about the pepper with each serving and laughed at the instruction in the book that suggests that you might need MORE black pepper for serving. Then I scoured the Internet for errata with no luck, saw that at least one other EYB member made it and was happy and once again questioned my not-very-refined-palate. So be warned if like me you prefer more balance between your salt and pepper and one more note: recipe suggests this serves 2 or 3 but in our household it easily served 6 so that was (or would have been) a plus if we'd been happy with the result.

    Used bucatini and added small tomatoes and garlic. Sauce was smooth and delicious.
