Slice the rashers of bacon into strips and pan-fry in olive oil until crisp. Add the garlic and set aside.
Cook the spaghetti in fast-boiling water until al dente and drain.
Spoon the mascarpone into the saucepan with the bacon and melt over a medium heat. Crumble the Gorgonzola into the saucepan and stir until a silky texture is achieved.
Stir in the egg yolk and quickly add the cooked pasta.
Toss through until combined. Top with croutons and season to taste.
Cook’s note: Eat immediately – this dish tastes best piping hot.
