Not the worlds biggest fan of mushroom, but i know they're good for me. Especially being vegetarian.
So tonight i made a yummy dinner, a slight variation on something i used to make for my family when i decided to make dinner as a kid.
So simple and quick to make.

So here it is, creamy bacon and mushroom carbonara.
Except this one is made with not-bacon, a heap of mushroom and some spring onions i needed to use up.
Still tastes great!!
It took a little longer to make then when i was a kid, but that was only due to the fact i also made the pasta.
Homemade pasta is the bestest!

  2. its just pasta (homemade, nom nom nom).
    i fried some mushies with spring onion and not bacon (or real bacon if you prefer :-P), then added the cooked pasta, and about 200ml of cream.
    The pasta soaks up some of the cream, so you may need to add more.
    The MUST for this is freshly ground black pepper.
    I think its definitely makes the dish, and add a heap.
    Such a quick and easy meal to make

  3. That's basically how I make it, I pour the cream in slowly and let it simmer on a low heat and I add some Parmesan cheese at the very end. I used to add egg and stuff and it always separated but then a chef friend of mine showed me how to make it with just cream. Oh, and I also cook the pasta separately but I've never made it with fresh stuff, will have to try!! :)
