Gather @egg noodle{400%g} and @smoked bacon{150%g}.

Cook the egg noodles in well-salted boiling water until just tender, then drain, reserving a splash of the cooking water. ~{8%minutes}

Meanwhile, render the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, adding the @onion{1} in the last few minutes to soften in the fat.

Toss the hot noodles with the bacon, its fat, and a splash of the reserved pasta water.

Off the heat, fold in the crumbled @farmer's cheese{250%g} so it just begins to melt against the hot noodles.

Serve immediately with a generous dollop of @sour cream{200%g} and a grind of @black pepper{} over each bowl.
