Carbonara Tagliatelle

For our carbonara we finely chopped a red onion, a couple of garlic cloves, some chestnut mushrooms and lean bacon rashers. We made some of our homemade pasta into tagliatelle. In a little oil we fried off the garlic.

We then softened the onions in the pan before adding the bacon and then the mushrooms.

We let the mixture saute for a few minutes. Meanwhile we cooked our pasta in salted boiling water for 5 minutes.

In a bowl we mixed 3 eggs with some cream and whisked until combined well.

We added a generous helping of black pepper. We put the cooked pasta (still warm into the pan with the bacon and mushrooms.

We turned off the heat under the pan and added our eggs and cream. We mixed it well until the eggs had cooked from the heat of the pasta (being careful not to make scrambled eggs!). We served it with some garlic bread and more black pepper and some chopped red onion.
