fry bacon, low heat olive oil, take it out of the pan, add 80% cooked pasta to the hot pan with some pasta water (this is the main sauce, the emulsification of starchy water and oil), mix well, take off heat, once cool enough that the eggs wont cook add the egg, parmesan, black peeper mix while mixing, add the bacon back
And the butter?

NEVER cream. Good quality eggs though, rest can be cheap.
