Creamy Bacon Carbonara

By Morganp9661

Creamy Bacon Carbonara is a classic Italian creamy pasta, bacon, mushrooms and onions cooked together and tossed in a cheesy egg mixture for an easy 30 minute meal! A quick and easy dinner that is made in minutes!

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup Cream or Heavy Cream Whipping Cream
• 1/3 cup Parmesan
• Fresh diced Parsley or dried flakes
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 1/2 tsp Red Pepper flakes
• * I doubled the Sauce recipe, and it was perfect
• 1/2 lb. bacon
• 3 mushrooms chopped opt
• 1 small onion chopped opt
• 1/2 pound pasta

Preparation

Step 1

Beat the eggs, cream, Parmesan, parsley, salt and the red pepper together in a bowl. I just used a fork.

Fry the bacon until crisp, then crumble and set aside.

With 1 -2 Tbsp. bacon grease, sauté the onion and the mushrooms until the onions are translucent and golden.

Step 2

Drain the pasta and while still warm, add to the onions and mushrooms.

Pour cream mixture into the pasta, and stir over low heat for one to two minutes.

I don’t do this on high heat, or you will make scrambled eggs.

Serve with additional Parmesan, and a loaf of Crusty French bread and a salad. So Good!
