Whilst the spaghetti cooks, melt your oil or fry light spray in a frying pan over medium heat

Slice the bacon and place in the frying pan with the garlic, fry until crispy

Pop the chicken into the frying pan, cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked all the way through

In a bowl, whisk together the egg, dijon mustard and lemon or lime juice

Once the pasta is cooked, spoon 2 tbsp of salty water into the egg/mustard mixture - mix together well

Drain the pasta, add the pasta back to the frying pan with the egg/mustard mixture on low/medium heat until the egg mixture thickens and becomes creamy and smooth
Once thickened, plate up with some salt & pepper and parsley sprinkled on top to finish!
