CARDIAC ARREST CARBONARA 
3/4 lb bacon
4 eggs
1 lb bow tie pasta
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 serrano chilies – chopped
3 large cloves of garlic – chopped
1 bunch of green onions – chopped
1 cup Parmesan cheese – shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 oz sautéed mushrooms*

*Melt one stick of butter in saucepan; add mushrooms with liberal doses of lemon pepper, cracked black pepper and crushed red pepper, and a very generous layer of garlic powder. Stir and simmer until just tender. Set aside.

Cut bacon into small slices and fry until crisp in a deep iron skillet. Remove bacon w/ slotted spoon and place onto paper towel to drain. Add chilies, garlic and onions to bacon fat, sauté for 1 minute and remove w/ slotted spoon, & add to mushrooms. Add drained bacon to mushrooms. Retain one tbsp of bacon fat in the skillet. Turn burner setting to warm. Melt 1/4 butter in microwave and add to skillet.

Whisk eggs and cream in a bowl until well mixed. Fold in cheese.

***Note: These three items need to be at room temperature; therefore, let them set out for 2 hours prior to preparation.

Cook pasta al dente, having added the olive oil to the cooking water.

Drain pasta and immediately add it to the skillet. Add the egg, cream, cheese mix, and toss the pasta until well coated.

Stir in the mushroom, bacon, onion, garlic, chili mix.

Serve immediately.

Bon appetit!

OH MY GOD!!!! This is so good. Anyone I have ever served it to loved it. For weight watchers though not so good. Whole recipe is 180 pts and worth every one.

I came here to see if this recipe is still up. Ten years ago my friend showed me this recipe and it has become my absolute favorite recipe in the world, although over the years I've tweaked it to make it healthier and easier to make. I love adding chicken and/or prawns and using turkey bacon with it.
