Instructions

1
In a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the diced smoked bacon and diced onions.
2
Sauté until the bacon is rendered and the onions are golden brown.
3
Pour in the heavy cream. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water to create a slurry, then add it to the pan. Stir to combine.
4
Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and stir. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for a few minutes.
5
While the sauce cooks, boil the spaghetti in a separate pot of salted water until al dente. Drain well.
6
Add the cooked spaghetti and freshly chopped parsley to the cream sauce.
7
Toss everything together until the pasta is thoroughly coated in the sauce. Serve immediately.
