- For carbonara sauce, preheat a large pan and start cooking the pancetta until golden brown and crispy texture. Once done, transfer the pancetta to a clean bowl and set aside. In a large pan where you cooked the pancetta, add the garlic and saute it until golden brown. Also, add mushroom and cook it for 2-3 minutes. Pour the all-purpose cream in the large pan and stir and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add parmesan cheese, pasta water, and half of the pancetta into the pan. Stir it until smooth.
- For preparation, place some pasta on a plate/bowl then pour the carbonara sauce on top of the pasta and garnish it with parsley, parmesan cheese, and crispy pancetta.
