In a skillet, fry bacon until lightly brown; drain and set aside. Put basil and garlic into a food processor or blender; process or blend until finely minced. In a large bowl, mix the half and half with the eggs; add bacon, basil mixture, and cheese. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; immediately add to egg mixture. Cover and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and toss to coat pasta with sauce. Serve immediately.
