Spaghetti Carbonara

I needed something real quick to make for dinner and had these ingredients in the house. 
 
 

1 lb of spaghetti                                               1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tblsp olive oil                                                1 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
6-8 slices of turkey bacon                                salt  & pepper
4 eggs

Bring a large pot lightly salted water water to boil.  Add pasta, return to boil and cook until tender.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a heavy bottom skillet.  Add the bacon and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 8-10 mins.
Beat the eggs with the cream in a small bowl an season with salt & pepper.  Drain the pasta and return it to the pan.  Turn the contents of the skillet, then add the egg mixture and half the Parmesan cheese.  Stir well, then transfe to a serving dish.  Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining cheese.
