No Oil or Cream Added! Whole Egg Spaghetti Carbonara

1. 1

   Boil the spaghetti in plenty of 1% salt water.

2. 2

   (Drain the pasta a bit earlier than the cooking time indicated on the package, so it's al dente.)

   Beat the egg with a whisk until it's creamy, and mix in the Parmesan cheese.

   Cook the bacon in a frying pan until it's crispy.

7. 7

8. 8

   Add the mushrooms and any other vegetables, and saute them.

9. 9

    If there is not enough pasta water, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons.

11. 11

    Take the frying pan off the heat, add the egg mixture and toss quickly so that the egg doesn't set.

    Keep putting the frying pan on and off the heat (set to low) until the egg is creamy.

13. 13

    Taste, and see if the seasoning is just right.
