Carbonara Caps

It’s nearly impossible to improve on the perfect combination of flavours in carbonara pasta, though pasta may not be exactly what you want from a nutrition perspective. If that’s the case (or if you want great appetizers for dinner guests) make up these wonderful stuffed mushrooms. I mean really, how can you argue with bacon, onion, garlic, wine and parmesan?

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

200g bacon (approximately 6 thick slices) cut into matchsticks
