Filipino Style Creamy Bacon and Mushroom Carbonara

Filipino Style Creamy Bacon and Mushroom Carbonara is very timely for the holidays. I made sure to make this dish look festive, taste delicious, and pleasing to the Filipino palate. I did it by adding more white sauce to the pasta to make it more saucy and creamier.  There is also more than enough bacon bits to to make the dish stand out.

One thing that I liked about this Bacon and Mushroom Carbonara (aside from its delicious taste) is its ease of preparation. The cooking process is simple and it can be completed in less than 30 minutes. I think that this recipe can be done by anyone, even the ones who have not tried making pasta dishes before. Check the step-by-step recipe that I have below and don’t forget to watch the video, for guidance. If you have questions, drop a comment or message me.

Before you start, here are some pointers. Make sure that you follow the package instructions when cooking the spaghetti. You can also use other pasta varieties such as Fettuccine and Capellini.This recipe makes use of all-purpose cream for the sauce. You can use table cream or heavy whipping cream if all-purpose is not available. It is all up to you to decide on how much bacon you want to use. I purposely used more bacon because I knew that I can’t go wrong with it. Don’t forget to share it with your friends and family.
