Easy Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe

Makes 4 servings

Just Add	Prepare
• 4 bacon rashers, trimmed of fat and rind, diced • 1 onion • 250 gm mushrooms • 300 ml/ 1 1/4 cup cream or substitute with cream cheese • Pepper	• In a non stick frypan, on high heat, fry onions and mushrooms together till the mushrooms are cooked • Then add in bacon and cook • Stir through cream or low-fat cream cheese and warm through till it is smooth • Serve with freshly cooked spaghetti or spaghettini

We enjoy this dish with fine spaghetti called spaghettini - it's a fine version of the usual spaghetti.

Tips

Always cook mushrooms thoroughly before adding any seasoning, as adding seasoning before this vegetable is cooked, leaches fluid from the mushrooms and the sauce becomes too watery.

For a low fat version, substitute cream with low fat cream cheese.

To save time, I cut the meat into chunks with kitchen scissors right over the pot.

Garnish with parsley or chives as desired.

You could stir through frozen green peas. That will make it an all-in-one meal in a pot.
