Filipino-Style Carbonara Instructions

Step 1: Cook the spaghetti as instructed by the box. Put it aside.

Step 2: Heat a pot for cooking. Sear the bacon. Continue cooking until the bacon is crispy, and the fat comes out.

Step 3: Remove the bacon, including half the bacon fat, from the pot. Put aside the bacon. We’re going to add that later. As for the rest of the bacon fat, you can hold it for later use in a sealed container, or you can discard it.

Step 4: In the pot, heat the rest of the bacon fat. Add the ground beef  and cook until browned. Then, Add the garlic and onion. Stir and cook until the onion is tender.

Step 5: Pour the beef broth over the beef and bring it to a boil.

Step 6: Continue cooking until the liquid is completely evaporated. Add the mushrooms and stir.

Step 7: Slide in the butter and cook until it melts.

Step 8: Pour in 2 and 1/4 cups of the heavy whipping cream. Stir and let it boil. Set the pot to cook over medium heat. Add black pepper with parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Step 9: Beat the egg yolks in a bowl and then add other 1/4  cup whipping cream. Keep beating until all the ingredients are mixed well.

Step 10: Pour the egg yolk mixture in the pot. Stir constantly until the white sauce texture is as desired.

Step 11: Arrange the spaghetti in a bowl and pour the carbonara sauce on top of it. Mix them well with each other. Use a fork to twist the spaghetti carbonara and then move the portions to serving bowls. Top with parmesan cheese and chopped bacon.
