Bacon mushroom carbonara adds a perfect bite of umami-filled mushrooms to this already rich, classic spaghetti dish. The egg based sauce is so simple and luxurious and it sticks to the noodles just as much as it sticks to your ribs.
At it's heart, carbonara is only egg, guanciale (or bacon, pancetta, etc), and pecorino, straightforward and delicious. Add the mushrooms, a bit of garlic, and an absurd amount of cracked pepper and this dish starts to sing.
I recommend using very high quality eggs because they make up the majority of sauce. Some cooks will add extra yolks but I don't think it needs it, plus I always find myself with a container of egg white that I never use then. Feel free to experiment with some fancy wild mushrooms if you want, but again, I don't think it needs it.
I like to eat it with a green salad on the side to combat the richness.
