Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, slice the bacon into small pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Peel the cucumber (optional) and cut it into thin slices or half-moons.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the bacon fat and toss to coat. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Quickly pour the egg and milk mixture over the hot pasta, stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce (the residual heat will cook the eggs without scrambling them).
