Pasta carbonara with mushrooms bacon and cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make homemade pasta carbonara with mushrooms, bacon and cream? It's easy enough. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Spaghetti can be replaced with fettuccine or other long pasta. Cream can be taken with a lower fat content - from 20%. You can replace Parmesan with other dry or semi-dry varieties of cheese. If the maximum similarity with Italian pasta is not necessary for you, you can replace Parmesan with ordinary Russian-type cheese.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the mushrooms and cut them into plates. Mushrooms can be used both fresh and frozen. But keep in mind that frozen ones need to be taken by a third or half more, because much more moisture will evaporate from them.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the bacon into thin strips. I have raw smoked bacon, but you can use boiled smoked or raw.

4. Step 4:

   

   Finely chop the garlic. Fresh garlic can be replaced with 1/2 tsp dry.

5. Step 5:

   

   Chop the parsley finely.

6. Step 6:

   

   Combine egg yolks, cream, grated parmesan, salt and pepper in a glass or bowl. Stir the sauce until smooth. If you want more sauce, you can take more cream.

7. Step 7:

   

   Put the mushrooms in a dry frying pan or saucepan with a thick bottom and evaporate excess moisture from them over medium heat. If desired, you can add a drop of vegetable oil to the pan.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add the bacon and fry everything together over high heat for 3-5 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    At the end, add the garlic and fry everything together for another 1-2 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Add the chopped parsley, season everything with salt and pepper and mix. Remove the pan from the heat.

12. Step 11:

    

    Boil the spaghetti in plenty of salted water until al dente (one minute less than indicated on the package). Drain all the water from the finished spaghetti, leaving the pasta in the pan.

13. Step 12:

    

    Return the pasta pan to a low heat. Add the fried mushrooms with bacon and herbs. Mix everything together.

14. Step 13:

    

    Pour in the cream cheese sauce and mix quickly until all the yolk and parmesan are dispersed over the pasta. Remove the pan from the heat.
