Pasta Carbonara

Today I will show you how to make my popular Pasta Carbonara. It's a big hit with people of all ages and is pretty easy to make. Let's get started.



Ingredients:
  • 2 cups uncooked penne
  • 8-10 bacon strips, diced
  • 5 oz fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream 
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed 
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 6 to 8 drops hot pepper sauce 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions 

Directions:
  • Put penne in boiling water with tablespoon of salt for 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain. Brown mushrooms in drippings; remove to paper towels. Drain drippings from pan into a container that can handle hot temperature. Put the grease in the fridge for an hour before discarding.
  • Add the cream, butter, parsley, garlic, pepper sauce and salt to the skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted. Drain penne; add to cream mixture. Stir in the bacon, mushrooms and cheese; heat through. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with green onions. Done
This takes about 30 minutes to do and is great for families of 4. Enjoy.
