Ingredients
- 8 ounces of spaghetti or fettuccine
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
- Cook the spaghetti or fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti or fettuccine to the skillet with the mushrooms. Toss to combine.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring quickly to coat the noodles. The heat from the pasta will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the pasta until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the mushroom carbonara pasta in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and crispy bacon.
