Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make homemade pasta carbonara with mushrooms, bacon and cream? Itʼs easy enough. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can replace spaghetti with fettuccine or other long pasta. Cream can be taken with lower fat content — from 20%. You can replace Parmesan with other dry or semi-dry types of cheese. If maximum resemblance to Italian pasta is not necessary for you, you can replace Parmesan with regular cheese such as Russian.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the mushrooms and cut into slices. You can use both fresh and frozen mushrooms. But keep in mind that you need to take a third or half more frozen ones, because much more moisture will evaporate from them.
