Pasta carbonara

This is a great recipe. If you're an Alfredo fan, you'd love this!

500g pasta (Spaghetti, fettuccine, tagliatelle or your favourite pasta)
45ml olive oil
4 spring onions, chopped
3-4 mushrooms, thinly sliced
150g bacon, chopped (or pancetta)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2-3 eggs
350ml fresh cream
125ml grated Parmesan cheese (or more if you'd like)

Cook the pasta according to the packed instructions.
Drains and set aside.
 Heat the oil in a large saucepan and saute the spring onions and mushrooms for about a minute.
Add the bacon and stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes or until crisp. 
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Add the pasta to the onion and bacon mixture in the saucepan and return it to the heat to keep warm. 
Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat.
Whisk together the eggs, cream and half the cheese until the mixture is creamy and pour it over the pasta.
The heat from the pasta will cook the eggs and heat the sauce.
Return the pan to the heat for about one minute. Serve immediately with the remaining cheese.

Serves 4
