1/4 pound bacon, diced

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 teaspoon butter

1 clove garlic, minced

2 cups ham, thin Julienne strips

1 (8 oz.) box Vermicelli spaghetti

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

3 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup ripe black olives, sliced

Preparation

Brown bacon over medium-high heat until cooked, but not crisp. Pour off fat and set bacon aside. Same pan, add oil, butter, garlic and ham. Saute lightly over medium heat. While meat is sauteing, cook spaghetti. Drain spaghetti. Add sauteed meat, bacon, cheese, salt and pepper to spaghetti. Stir to mix well. Pour eggs over, toss quickly to coat spaghetti evenly. Add olives, and toss again.
