Spaghetti Carbonara 🍝



Ingredients:

  • 1/2 packet of pasta packet bought from supermarkets (about 250g) 
  • 1/2-3/4 packet of cooking cream 
  • 1 medium yellow onion (chopped finely) 
  • 6 cloves of garlic (minced) 
  • 300gSwiss Brown mushrooms (slice) 
  • 400g Bacon (sliced into smaller pieces) 
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
Directions:

  1. Boil the pasta in a large pot of water with 1 tbsp of salt. Cook until al dente.
  2. Whilst the pasta is cooking, cut the bacon into small strips and fry them in some oil until they turn crispy. Remove the bacon.
  3. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat until they become a consistent yellow mixture. Add on cheese, mix well and set aside.
  4. Using whatever leftover oil from frying the bacon, add the butter and fry the onions, followed by the garlic.
  5. After a few minutes, fry the mushrooms until they turn soft. Add the bacon and mix well. 
  6. Add half packet of cooking cream. Add more cream if you prefer your sauce to be creamier.
  7. Bring the sauce to a simmer and add pasta to coat well. Then off the heat. 
  8. Let pan rest for half minute. Pour in egg mixture and keep stirring until the sauce is slightly thicken and achieve a smooth consistency. This step is important as the egg will become scrambled eggs if you’re not fast enough.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more parmesan cheese if desired.
Happy Cooking!
