If you've decided to add the broccoli chop it up. It's up to you how much you want. I've just done an average head of broccoli. Either steam or boil the broccoli. Up to you. I always steam it.

Chop up the onion, garlic and bacon. Some people like to crush the garlic, it's up to you. I like chopping it. You can use more/less bacon. A lot of the ingredients in this are subjective.

While the pasta is cooking whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, thickened cream, and grated Parmesan. You could probably do it using 1 egg instead of 2. And you can use more/less Parmesan.

Once it reaches a consistency you prefer, this being mine, stop adding the sauce and take it off the heat. Season with salt and pepper to your own tastes.
