spaghetti with peas and bacon

Eggs would make this dish rich and truly Italian(like a Carbonnara) however I personally do not feel comfortable using them for this dish, even with the greatest care.I suppose the sauce resembles alfredo sauce a bit more but whatever you call it it's a rustic peasant dish that works!
