1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

3 mushrooms chopped (optional)

Fry the bacon until crisp, then crumble and set aside.
With 1 -2 Tablespoons of bacon grease, sauté the onion and the mushrooms until the onions are translucent and golden.
Drain the pasta, and while it's still warm, add the onions and mushrooms.
Pour the cream mixture into the pasta, and stir over low heat for one to two minutes. Do this on low heat, or you will make scrambled eggs.
