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

1. Cook the spaghetti or fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. 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.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese.
6. Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti or fettuccine to the skillet with the mushrooms. Toss to combine.
7. 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.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the pasta until the sauce thickens slightly.
9. Serve the mushroom carbonara pasta in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and crispy bacon.
