1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally until browned and crisp. Drain pan and dry bacon on paper towels; keep the skillet on the heat. Add the oil and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Whisk together the milk and egg in a large serving bowl until well-combined. Stir in the onion.

Crumble the bacon into small pieces over the spaghetti and toss. Serve immediately.
