Creamy Spaghetti Carbonara

I needed an excuse to open a bottle of Chardonnay tonight.. After few glasses, I need something quick, simple and easy.. Creamy Carbonara with a touch of Chardonnay and Spaghetti .. I didn't defrost bacon, so used diced ham instead.. Still remember many years ago I made Carbonara sauce for the first time,  it looked like scrambled eggs with pasta!  .. Epic failed :) 

Ingredients

200g spaghetti 

100g diced ham or bacon 

1/4 cup dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)

1/4 cup sliced mushroom

2 tsp olive oil

2 eggs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup double cream

Salt & pepper to taste

Methods

In a pan over medium heat, add oil and ham, cook the ham until crunchy , then pour over white wine, let it bubble until a little amount of juice left, remove from heat.

Boil the water, cook spaghetti until al dente.

While spaghetti are cooking, in a bowl, beat together eggs, cheese, cream, salt and pepper.

Once the spaghetti is ready, drain and put them in the ham pan, add the mushroom. On the medium heat, toss them together until all coats with juice..

Remove from heat, stir in the cream mixture into the pan, tossing everything to mix.. Sprinkle more salt and pepper if needed.. Serve immediately.
