Heat the oil in a non-stick 
					  frying pan over a medium heat and cook the pigs in- 
					  blankets for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp and cooked 
					  through. Add the garlic for the final 2 minutes of cooking 
					  time. then remove the garlic and take the frying pan off 
					  the heat.  
					   
					  - 
					  
In a bowl, whisk together the 
					  egg yolks, parmesan and black pepper. Cook the spaghetti 
					  in a large pan of lightly salted water following pack 
					  instructions, then drain, reserving some of the cooking 
					  water. Add a ladle of the pasta cooking water to the egg 
					  yolk and parmesan mixture. and whisk again.  
					   
					  - 
					  
Tip the spaghetti into the 
					  frying pan with the pigs-in-blankets. and set over a very 
					  low heat. Add the egg yolk and parmesan mixture and toss 
					  together using tongs until the sauce thickens slightly and 
					  starts to cling to the pasta. Divide between two plates. 
					  and serve with another grating of parmesan over the top, 
					  if you like.
