Create a double boiler with a 10 inch cast iron skillet over a medium sized soup pot. Fill the soup pot with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Place the skillet over the top and let it warm up. Place the pasta in the skillet and mix in the egg mixture, stirring consistently for about 2 minutes. The sauce will thicken and get creamy as you mix. Mix in 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings and the parsley. If you need to thin out the sauce, pour in some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid until you reach the desired consistency. Mix in 1/2 of the crumbled bacon.
