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
- In medium bowl beat together eggs, cream, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper flakes; set aside.
- In large skillet fry the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; crumble and set aside. Reserve about 2 tablespoons bacon grease.
- Add onion and cook until softened. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, return bacon to skillet.
- 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".
