Quick version (Because I'm lazy to write it properly!)
What you need:
· Spaguetti (duh).
· Liquid cream or butterfat. I am not good at giving an estimation, but enough to cover most (if not all) espaguetti on the cauldron.
· Salt. Tons of it.
· Onions.
· Bacon. I prefer it in strips, easier to cut.
· Nutmeg.
· A bit of olive oil.
What you have to do:
- Put water on a cauldron.
- Put salt on the water when it's starting to boil, move it around with a spoon.
- Put spaguetti on the cauldron.
- Wait some minutes.
- Take a different cauldron.
- Put a very, very light coat of oil.
- Let this cauldron burn.
- Cut onions, drop 'em inside the burning cauldron with the coat of oil.
- Move them with a spoon (for the love of everything do not let them toast).
- Take out the bacon.
- Put some nutmeg on top of the strips.
- Put bacon inside the burning cauldron.
- Take spaguetti out, remove water, put it again on the cauldron.
- Drop a bit of oil on top of the spaguetti. (You can add some nutmeg here if you want, or if you weren't able to put it on the bacon earlier)
- Remove the strips of bacon and the cut onions when they're ready, drop 'em on the spaguetti, start removing it and add some fire below so that food remains hot.
- Drop the liquid cream on top of the spaguetti. Give it enough fire so that it starts boiling a bit.
- Turn everything off.
- Remove cauldron from fire.
- Serve and eat!
