--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                    Recipe Egg Pasta (or 3/4 Lb
                       -dry fettuccine)
    1/4   lb           Bacon (about 4 slices)
  1                    Onion
    1/2   c            Parmesan cheese, grated
  3                    Eggs
                       Salt
                       Pepper

 PREPARATION:  Make the Egg pasta dough; roll as thin as possible and
 cut into 1/8- to 1/4-inch wide strips.  Cut the bacon into thin strips
 widthwise.  Chop the onion.  Grate the Parmesan cheese.  NOTE:
 Recipe can be made to this point several hours in advance. COOKING
 AND SERVING: Cook the bacon in frying pan over medium heat until
 golden brown, about 10 minutes.  Remove bacon and drain on paper
 towels. Reduce heat to low and cook onion in bacon fat until soft,
 about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside.  Beat eggs
 together in a small bowl. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling,
 salted water until tender, about 3 minutes for fresh pasta. Drain the
 pasta and return to pot. Over low heat, toss pasta with the bacon,
 onion, eggs, and Parmesan cheese until pasta is well coated; heat
 until pasta is warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
 Serve immediately.
