    1. Cook the tagliatelle in lightly salted water until just shy of done.
    1. Pour the olive oil into a skillet, add the peeled garlic, and set it over the heat. Fry the garlic until it browns, then remove it from the pan — you won't need it again.
    1. Cut the bacon into small strips and fry it in the garlic-infused olive oil for 5 minutes.
    1. Peel the prawns as usual, removing the heads and shells, then add them to the bacon. Fry for about 7–8 minutes, until the prawns are done.
    1. Grate the Parmesan finely and put it in a bowl (set a little aside for serving — a teaspoon or so is plenty). Add the cream, egg yolk, salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence. Mix the sauce thoroughly.
    1. Pour the cream sauce over the cooked pasta and toss vigorously. Add the prawns and bacon and toss again.
  • Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil and a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
  • Enjoy!
