Go Italian!

This is the BEST carbonara you will EVER eat!

(My husbands recipe)


You will need;
(serves 2)

1 brown onion
1 shallot
2 chicken breast (one per person)
200g field mushroom
1tbsp unsalted butter
3 strips of bacon
2 chicken stock cubes
300ml full fat cream **
pinch salt/pepper (personal taste)
1 cup penne/tagatelli pasta
50ml White wine

Pop pasta into boiled water, over heat and cook as normal.

Start by chopping your brown onion, shallot, mushrooms, bacon and chicken. Sautee (fry) chicken and bacon in 1tbsp of butter over high heat until lightly coloured. Add in chopped onion, shallot and mushrooms. Cook on medium heat until onion becomes clear and soft.

Put back on to high heat and add white wine and chicken stock cubes. Simmer until you see liquid reduce by about a half. Stiring every now and then.

Now add the cream and bring to the boil allow to reduce on medium until it becomes a nice thick sauce.

Strain your pasta and add it to the sauce (add salt & pepper now if to your taste) Give a quick mix and it's ready to serve!

Garnish with chopped chives or a sprig of parsley.


ENJOY!


** If you would rather use low fat cream, add 50g of parmesan cheese when adding the cream.
