Creamy Mushroom Carbonara Traditional carbonara is made with cured pork, usually pancetta or bacon. This vegetarian version uses mushrooms instead. And honestly, we think we might like it even better. Mushrooms are the best substitutes for meat because of their singular umami taste that we love so much. Carbonara's signature creaminess comes from a mixture of egg yolks, eggs, grated cheese, and a bit of pasta cooking water. That part, we're keeping.
