Quickie bacon & egg spaghetti

This  one below is version 2.0, where I added chicken and green peppers, quite nice too :)
This is great when you need a dinner fix in a hurry, maximum it takes 15 mins from start to finish.
Just grab these:
- Bacon, cut into small pieces
- Onion, chopped
- Garlic, chopped
- Grated Cheddar cheese
- Olive Oil
- Egg, beaten
- Spaghetti
- Salt & Pepper
- Some parsley (optional)

All you have to do:
1. Heat some olive oil, drop in chopped onion and garlic then in goes the chopped bacon, fry and set aside.
2. Meantime, boil a pot of water, add salt and cook the spaghetti only when the water is boiling.
3. In a large bowl, crack an egg, beat it and add shredded cheddar cheese, mix well.
4. When the spaghetti is done al dente, pick them up with a thong (not drained) and place them into the bowl. The hot spaghetti will cook the raw egg, mix it well and add the bacon, garlic, onion & oil you set aside earlier into the mix and portion them into individual plates. Add pepper & parsley on each plate and viola! bon appetit! :)
Tips:
- Don't burn the garlic & bacon.
- Don't add oil to the boiling water when you cook the spaghetti. Contrary to popular belief and practice, adding oil when cooking pasta does not help in preventing the pasta from sticking together.
- Don't drain your cooked spaghetti, instead use a thong to pick them up as otherwise it will be too dry.
