Spaghetti carbonara with champignons

4 servings

30 minutes

Spaghetti carbonara with mushrooms is a refined blend of traditional Italian classic and delicate mushrooms. Carbonara, historians claim, originated in Rome, where pasta was prepared with eggs, cheese, and guanciale. In this version, the addition of mushrooms gives the dish an exquisite, velvety taste and pleasant texture. Smoked bacon adds appetizing crunchiness, creamy sauce envelops the spaghetti, and spices highlight the depth of aroma. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner, recreating the atmosphere of an Italian trattoria where food is an art of enjoyment.
