Chicken and Bacon Carbonara
This is a really easy carbonara pasta that uses chicken and bacon. We eat it mid-week when time and energy are a bit short.

- Bring water to boil in a saucepan and add pasta.
- While pasta is cooking add chicken, garlic and bacon to a frypan; fry until cooked. Try to use a non-stick pan to cut down on the fat content.
- Pasta, chicken and bacon should be finished cooking at the same time. Drain pasta and put back into the same saucepan.
- Immediately add whisked eggs and stir. Add half the parmesan and continue to stir.
- Add chicken and bacon mixture then toss.
- Add leftover parmesan or to taste. Serve.

Something else. Added onion. Sweated onion off in the pan before adding the bacon and chicken. - 22 Jun 2011
This was a real saviour this evening. Ihad accidentally defrosted chicken mince and wanted something other than bolognese or meatpatties/balls so I tried this out. It was fabulous. Super easy and tasty. I added onion at the very begining before the bacon and chicken but otherwise completely as per the recipe. It was a very happy accident! We will add this to our regular meals. - 22 Jun 2011
