Cheesy Bacon Pasta with Poached Eggs

Ingredients:
Spaghetti noodles, cooked according to package
1 jar of three cheese pasta sauce
4 strips of bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled
4 large basil leaves, chopped
4 small cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
4 eggs
salt and pepper

After cooking the pasta and draining, add the pasta sauce to the saucepan along with the basil and garlic. Add the pasta back in and stir together. Pour onto your serving dishes. Fill another medium sized saucepan with water, add 2 tbs. of salt and 2 tbs. of vinegar. Heat until boiling, then turn down to a simmer. Crack an egg into the simmering water, with a slotted spoon, make sure it isn't touching the bottom and is completely cooking in water. When the whites are fully cooked, remove with the slotted spoon and just let drip dry for a second over a paper towel so you don't get any extra water in your pasta. Spoon on top of the pasta. Repeat this for the other three remaining eggs. When the eggs are done and on top of the pasta and season with salt and pepper. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon on top.
