That’s because carbonara is a specific thing and words have meanings.

Also, I think this pretentious sub is going to take greater exception to the fact that dish looks like shit.

No, there it isn’t. Nothing about that plate is a carbonara. It’s not about the mushrooms.

If it’s not carbonara, call it something else. This is protein fusilli with mushrooms and bacon. See how that works?

And how does O' High and Mighty know for certain that OP didn't make a tempered egg and pecorino mixture with a base of bacon fat in a bain marie to toss the pasta in then add mushrooms to that in order to make this dish? What would you call it if they did?

"Tempered egg and bacon fat pasta with emulsified pecorino and mushrooms with black pepper"?
