Mushroom Chicken Carbonara with Linguini/Fettuchini

Made this tonight but SHUCKS!!forgotten to take a photo!..will try to make this again (since the kids loved it :)) and post the picture later. OK here's what you will need:

2 tbsp olive oil
250 grams button /shitake mushrooms (sliced)
2 tbsp onion (diced) -optional
a little fatty beef bits (to replace 6 strips bacon since I do not take bacon)

2 skinless chicken thighs (thinly sliced)
100 ml apple juice ( or use water with 1 tablespoon honey)
200 ml evaporated milk (or thick cream)
2 med egg yolk (lightly beaten)
1/2 tsp mustard
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tsp Italian herbs (optional)
salt and pepper

300 gm linguini /fettucini boiled with salt.

Heat olive oil and add the onions and beef bits. Stir fry until onion is slightly browned. Add the mushroom and fry until mushroom is slightly dry. Remove from heat and set aside. Leave the oil in the pan

To the oil add the chicken slices. Stir well. When  the chicken has changed colour, add in the juice (or water and honey) and mustard. Bring to boil . Add the milk (or thick cream) and the mushrooms. TURN THE HEAT OFF. whisk in the eggs and add in the herbs, salt and pepper and the chopped parsley. Toss in the pasta. Voila!! MAMA MIA!!
