I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Slice bacon strips into 1/2 inch pieces. Saute in large saucepan until crisp. Set aside on a plate. Squeeze Italian sausage from casing into hot bacon fat, and break into small chunks. Saute about 10 minutes over med.-low heat until cooked through. Add garlic and saute briefly. Turn bacon to pan.

While preparing bacon and sausage, cook spaghetti with salt and oil according to package. Drain. Put cooked spaghetti in saucepan with hot bacon and sausage, or put in warm chafing dish or electric skillet to finish at table. Toss.

Push spaghetti to sides of pan and break egg in center. Quickly scramble egg and stir it into spaghetti. Toss in grated cheese. Pour in 1/4 cup cream or h-n-h. Mix. As Cream is absorbed, add up to 1/4 cup more. Add black pepper and nutmeg. Garnish with minced parsley.
