I am a really lucky girl… my boyfriend also likes to cook and sometimes we have small “arguments” trying to decide who’s cooking dinner… friendly arguments that are usually won by me π but sometimes I let him use the kitchen… usually on our days off or on Sunday when he makes delicious pasta dishes showing all his Italian roots π
His cooking style is very different from mine… I like to search new recipes either online or on my various recipe books. And then I give it my touch – he likes to invent it all from scratch or then think of a dish he tasted somewhere and tries to replicate it. He’s very good at looking at what’s in the fridge and coming up with a beautiful dish which, in the fast majority of times, includes pasta, of course.
But sometimes he likes to cook those really traditional Italian dishes that we all know and just gives it his touch… it was the case of this spaghetti alla carbonara with mushrooms… And it was simply delicious π To the traditional taste of the bacon and eggs sauce he added the mushrooms which gave it a more earthy flavour… I really enjoyed it…

This sounds like a really nice spaghetti dish, sadly my other half isn’t a fan of creamy sauces so I’d have to turn this into a tomato style sauce x
Thank you for your comment – I have an option that your other half may like https://www.onceuponapan.com/rigatoni-with-meatballs-and-tomato-sauce/ – have a look and let me know π
Oh my this sounds amazing. And I’m going to pin it for next weeks meal plan!
My husband and I both love to cook but I always win as it’s my little break everyday haha. He also thinks he’s a little cook than me.
He’s wrong. Haha.
Well here he’s only allowed in the kitchen when pasta is involved π also for me it’s like my daily break, it helps me relax π god to hear someone else thinks like me… thank you for leaving your comments π
Carbonara is my favourite. I’ve never made my own though
This one was made by my boyfriend but it seems easy… you should try it π
I love a creamy pasta dish it tastes so damn good. This looks delicious x
And without any cream, just eggs π it’s a fantastic dish that my boyfriend makes so well π
Thanks π
This looks very tasty. I can see my kids enjoying this meal.
This looks lovely, I’ve never made carbonara before (would use veggie bacon π ) I’ll see if I can get round to it !
Thank you for your comments… I’m not sure if vegetarians would like this recipe because there’s also eggs involved but if you turn it around please let me know so I can try it too π
Carbonara is a classic, but I don’t think I’ve ever had it, despite LOVING Italian food, because I don’t eat meat! I could definitely try this and remove the mushrooms. Oh, and lucky you, having two of you who love cooking!

Thanks π yes, it’s nice when our partner also loves to cook for those days when you are just feeling lazy π if you don’t eat meat just remove the bacon and add any vegetable you like… I’m sure it will come up as good π
Oh this is my favourite dish and yours looks absolutely delicious! Kaz x
Thank you, I will pass on your comments to my boyfriend (the cook!) π
