Pasta alla Carbonara

4 large eggs

1/2 cup heavy cream

2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 pound bacon

1 large white onion, chopped

3/4 pound mushrooms, sliced

1 pound any style pasta, cooked according to package

1. In medium bowl beat together eggs, cream, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper flakes; set aside.
2. In large skillet fry the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; crumble and set aside. Reserve about 2 tablespoons bacon grease.
3. Add onion and cook until softened. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, return bacon to skillet.
4. Add egg mixture to skillet. Cook, stirring, just until the sauce begins to thicken. Quickly remove from heat and add the hot cooked noodles, tossing to combine. Serve immediately.

Makes 6 servings.

Note: Timing is important for success. Make sure you toss the sauce with hot noodles so the eggs will "finish cooking".
