You could prepare this without the added butter or margarine. Just fry your bacon up and use the drippings to cook your onions, mushrooms and bell pepper. Carbonara is fattening enough as it is....

There are not enough stars to describe how delicious this was. IT Says 4-6 servings but we got 8+ servings (enough to freeze for later!). Wonderful bacon taste... creamy sauce. Its going in our recipe book!
