The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
1 pound spaghetti pasta
2 large eggs
1 cup half and half
1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
black pepper, to taste
vegetable oil
3 ounces parma ham or any smoked bacon, finely chopped
directions
Cook the pasta as directed on package until al dente.
Meanwhile, combine the eggs, half and half, and half of the parmesan in a bowl. Add some black pepper as desired. Whisk together until completely mixed.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little vegetable oil (just enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan). Add the ham or bacon and cook until almost crisp. Add the garlic and cook until just fragrant and the ham is crisp.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the ham. Reduce heat to low and stir the mixture. Add the egg mixture and stir gently until it is just beginning to set.
Remove from the heat and evenly distribute between serving bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.

Recipe was easy and the results were great. However, I used pre-grated parmesan and regular eggs -- I think those were just personal opinions, and it turned out good anyway.
