Spaghetti carbonara is one of my favorite easy Italian recipes. It is a wonderful recipe when you want something quick yet warm, filling and comforting.
Cook the spaghetti in a large saucepan of boiling salted water with the oil added per instructions on the package. Drain well.
Meanwhile, slice the onion and dice the bacon. Wash and slice the mushrooms. Melt half the butter in a large pan and cook the onion and bacon for 5 minutes over a low heat. Add the mushrooms and cook another 3 minutes.
Toss the drained spaghetti in the other half of the melted butter over a medium heat for a few seconds. Season with pepper and add the Parmesan cheese. Toss the spaghetti into the pan with the onion, bacon and mushrooms and mix well. Add the seasoned beaten eggs and stir vigorously into the mixture. Cook over the heat for a few minutes until the eggs are somewhat cooked and the mixture is thick and creamy.
Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley alongside a mixed green salad and fresh crusty Italian rolls.
