Delicious Pasta

 Ingredients: 400 g pasta, 200 g pancetta or smoked bacon, 200 ml cream, 2 eggs, 300 g mushrooms, pepper, basil, parmesan

To prepare a delicious pasta dish, let's start with the necessary ingredients. You will need 250 grams of pasta – the ideal choice would be spaghetti or fettuccine, but you can use any type you prefer. Make sure you have 150 grams of pancetta, diced, and 200 grams of fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced. You will also need 200 milliliters of cooking cream, two fresh eggs, salt, pepper to taste, a few fresh basil leaves, and 50 grams of grated parmesan for extra flavor.

First, put a large pot of water to boil. Add a teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavor of the pasta. When the water starts to boil, add the pasta and let it cook according to the instructions on the package, usually between 8 and 12 minutes, depending on the type chosen. While the pasta is boiling, you can prepare the delicious sauce.

In a large skillet, pour a little olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the pancetta and let it sauté until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. The aroma it will release will be simply tempting. After the pancetta has browned, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes. The mushrooms should release their juices and become nicely golden.

Once the mushrooms are sautéed, add the cream and beaten eggs. Mix the entire composition well so that the eggs are evenly incorporated. Season with a little freshly ground pepper and add the torn basil leaves. Let the sauce simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

In the meantime, check the pasta. When it is al dente, drain it well but keep a few tablespoons of the cooking water to adjust the consistency of the sauce if necessary. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the pancetta and mushroom sauce. Mix well so that the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little of the reserved water.

Finally, sprinkle the grated parmesan on top of the pasta and gently mix to incorporate it. Garnishing with a few fresh basil leaves will add a touch of freshness and an appetizing appearance. Serve this delicious dish immediately, which is sure to impress anyone who tastes it!
