1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.
2
In a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chopped bacon until fat renders and the meat is slightly crisp, about 10 minutes. Set aside with a slotted spoon and transfer the bacon to a plate, leaving the fat in the skillet.
3
In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the minced garlic and cook over medium heat for 1 minute or until fragrant.
4
Add the spaghetti to the boiling salted water and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta but do not rinse.
5
Add the chicken broth to the skillet with bacon fat and garlic, and simmer on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the broth reduces by about half.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and 2 teaspoons of water until well combined.
7
When the spaghetti is done, drain it and immediately add it to the skillet with the reduced broth mixture. Toss to coat the spaghetti.
8
Slowly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti while continuously stirring, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated and the sauce thickens.
9
Add the arugula, parsley, chopped bacon, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined.
10
Divide the Creamy Spaghetti Carbonara between 4 warm bowls and serve immediately.
