Bacon Carbonara

Steps

1. Prep onion and bacon Bring a large pot of hot salted tap water to the boil on high heat with the lid on. Finely dice onion, roughly chop spinach and roughly dice bacon, set aside.
2. Cook pasta Add pasta to pot of boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes, until just tender. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water then drain. Return pasta to pot with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
3. Cook bacon and veggies Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Add bacon and cook for 4-5 minutes, until starting to brown. Add onion and mushrooms and cook a further 3-4 minutes, until mushrooms soften. Add peas, carbonara spices and cook a further 2 minutes.
4. Prep carbonara sauce Whisk together egg, sour cream and first measure of Parmesan cheese.
5. Finish carbonara Reduce pan to low heat. Add spinach and sour cream/egg mix and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss gently for about 30 seconds, until combined. Season to taste. Pour over drained pasta and stir to combine. If sauce is too thick, add remaining 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water.
6. Serve pasta carbonara topped with Parmesan and parsley.
