Quick Carbonara

1 Package of spaghetti (I like thin)
8 slices bacon
2/3 chopped green onions
1 (4-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 to 1 1/2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
dash of pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions.  Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy: remove bacon, reserving 3 Tablespoons drippings in skillet.  Coarsely crumble bacon, and set aside.

Cook green onions, and mushrooms in drippings in skillet over medium heat 2 minutes.  Drain Pasta, and place in a serving bowl.  Stir egg yolks into hot pasta immediately after draining it. Stir in bacon, green onions and mushrooms, cheese, and pepper: toss.  Serve immediately.
