WTF am I thinking of then? I almost never eat pasta that's not 'red sauce' so have probably confused it with something french..

gtfo!
fry bacon in butter, low heat, add 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 pepper mix while stirring the pasta, add the bacon back
NEVER cream. Good quality eggs though, rest can be cheap.
