Primavera Carbonara

I must confess that it’s a rare day that I will eat pasta, but when I do, it’s got to be rich, creamy, and fattening as heck!!  So bear with me, but you are going to want to make this pasta!  Let’s start with the healthy news:  zucchini, onions and mushrooms.  Now for the not-such-healthy news, but you gotta have it:  bacon (oh yayyyy)!  And not at all healthy but absolutely delish: a creamy carbonara sauce made from egg yolks, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese (I warned you).  Now, add some spaghetti and we are in heaven, my friends!
