EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you're not a fan of mushrooms, simply leave them out.

Using pasteurized eggs, which have been heat-treated, eliminates the risk of salmonella that can be contracted from raw eggs. Pasteurized eggs can be found in the dairy case at large supermarkets.

Excellent recipe! I didnt have whipping cream in the house so Instead of using whipping cream and eggs I simply added a jar of pasta sauce. I also added a full one pound of browned ground venison in place of the ground beef. Family loved it.

Excellent Recipe - my only recommendation is to be sure to only use 1/2 the box of pasta. I cooked up and tossed in a full 900g box of spaghetti and it wicked up the sauce quickly - making it a little sticky & dry as it cooled. We like a little pasta with our sauce. This has been added to our favourites though! Of, and we skipped the bacon altogether - and it wasn't missed.
