A Simple Recipe for Chicken Carbonara
Chicken Carbonara is an old favorite for many people. This pasta dish features bacon and chicken in a tasty parmesan cheese based sauce. In addition to the vegetables listed, onions and mushrooms are also nice. This recipe may seem time consuming, but you will be surprised by how quickly it ends up on the table. Why not make chicken carbonara the easy way and delight your family with their favorite dish and yourself with the short amount of time it takes to do so?
This recipe uses raw eggs in the sauce, which is the traditional way of creating creaminess. However, handled correctly, they will not cause a problem. The sauce must be mixed directly with the hot pasta immediately after draining to get the right texture and avoid bacterial contamination from leaving the raw egg sitting around. When it touches the hot pasta it partly "cooks" anyway. This is a great-textured dish but it is hard to explain just how yummy it is, so you will just have to make it yourself and find out! Serve this great recipe with delicious hot garlic bread and enjoy it.
Our recipe for chicken carbonara requires no side dish, since it contains pasta, meat, vegetables, and a sauce, but the garlic bread is a nice touch. If you have been looking for a good chicken carbonara recipe, you will enjoy this one. If you do not like peas, you could substitute corn kernels instead. You will find that the kids like this dish as much as the adults do and that is not really surprising since most kids enjoy creamy Italian dishes like chicken carbonara.
