How To Make spaghetti carbonara (my family's recipe)

• 1

  Start cooking the fettuccine according to package directions. Take bacon and fry it to fairly crisp (I, personally, cut it to pieces and then fry it).
• 2

  Dice ham (I buy the already diced ham at the grocery for convenience) and toss it with the bacon. Get brown. Drain grease and set aside.
• 3

  Over medium heat, take HALF stick of butter and add garlic. Cook approximately 2 minutes and then add in the onions until translucent. Add the other half stick of butter and then add the sliced mushrooms. Cooked for another 5-10 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked through.
• 4

  Take the bacon and ham and add it to the garlic, onions, and mushrooms. Add the cup of wine. Heat for 2-3 minutes to let the alcohol burn off. Then add the cup of heavy cream.
• 5

  When fettuccine is done, add the Romano cheese to the sauce mixture and stir constantly until well combined and you have a nice thick sauce.
• 6

  Toss in the fettuccine or you can serve the fettuccine on individual plates and top with sauce. I personally toss it all together.
