Introduction

Linguine alla carbonara with mushrooms.

Trying something new in my kitchen is always exciting. Last night after what felt an eternity of deciding what to prepare for dinner,  I finally stumbled into my kitchen and started cooking. We were not particularly hungry and we all decided that pasta was it. Carbonara was my choice, easy is all I was looking for.
Somehow by rummaging in the crisper drawer I brought out some white mushrooms. Why not add them to the bacon and onion? A very pleasant surprise that we all enjoyed.
When cooking the mushrooms make sure that most of the juices are evaporated before adding the wine to the skillet. I always use a regular skillet that does not have a non stick coating.
