Play Icon


½ pound Neese’s Hickory Smoked Bacon, roughly chopped
½ pound Neese’s Hot Country Sausage
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound egg noodles
2 eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan, plus more to top
Handful of fresh parsley, minced
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper

In a skillet, combine bacon and sausage. Cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add garlic to the pan.

While the meat is cooking, boil the noodles in lightly salted water.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and Parmesan.

When the noodles are cooked, strain them, reserving ¼ cup of water. Remove the sausage from heat and toss the noodles in the skillet with the meat, coating them in the drippings.

Add the egg mixture and the reserved water to the pan and stir quickly to coat the noodles.

Plate and top with salt, pepper, parsley, and fresh Parmesan.
