Slice bacon into ½-inch slices and cook. Cook pasta according to package directions, reserving about 1/3 cup warm pasta water. Mix egg, parmesan, pepper and in a large bowl, until the consistency of a thick batter, then add some warm pasta water and stir. Drain spaghetti and add hot to the egg mixture; the combination of warm pasta and its water will cook the egg. Toss in bacon and pea shoots. Serve with more parmesan and fresh cracked black pepper.
