Steps

1

Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve some pasta water.
2

Slice bacon and cook in a pan until crispy and brown. Pour off bacon juices and mix them into the egg and Parmesan mixture.
3

Add sliced mushrooms to the bacon and sauté until tender.
4

Use a splash of reserved pasta water to deglaze the pan and unstick any bacon bits.
5

In a bowl, beat eggs and mix with Parmesan, bacon juices, and black pepper. Add extra Parmesan if you like it cheesier.
6

Drain pasta and add to the pan with bacon and mushrooms.
7

Remove from heat, pour in egg mixture, and toss quickly to coat, adding more pasta water if needed for creaminess.
8

Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and pepper.
