Chicken And Mushroom Carbonara Food

CARBONARA WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the garlic and pancetta until crisp, then add the chicken strips and fry briefly until they're just cooked through. Fish out the garlic clove and discard it. Beat the eggs with the grana padano and some black pepper.
• Add a couple of tablespoons of pasta water to the pancetta pan along with the butter, then drain the pasta and add it to the pan. Pour in the egg mixture, take the pan off the heat and toss together so the egg cooks in the heat of the pasta. Divide between four warm bowls and top with more cheese, if you like.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM CARBONARA

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti in large saucepan as directed on package, omitting salt. Meanwhile, cook and stir bacon in large skillet on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels.
• Mix Neufchatel, milk and seasonings until blended. Add mushrooms to reserved bacon drippings in skillet; cook and stir 5 min. or until mushrooms are tender and most the liquid is cooked off. Add chicken; cook and stir 5 min. or until no longer pink. Stir in peas; cook 1 min. Add Neufchatel mixture; cook and stir 3 min. or until chicken is done and sauce is heated through.
• Drain spaghetti, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Return spaghetti to pan. Add chicken mixture and bacon; mix lightly. Add reserved pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until sauce is of desired consistency. Top with Parmesan.

CHICKEN CARBONARA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and garlic and saute until it is brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, cheese, yolks, basil, and parsley to blend.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the spaghetti and cook until it is just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Add the chicken to the pan with the pancetta and stir to combine. Next, add the spaghetti and the cream mixture and toss over medium-low heat until the chicken is heated through and the sauce coats the spaghetti thickly, about 4 minutes (do not boil or you might end up scrambling the eggs). Season the pasta, to taste, with pepper and salt if needed (the pancetta will likely add all the salt you need). Transfer the pasta to a large wide serving bowl. Sprinkle the walnuts and lemon zest over, and serve.

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water.
• Put the beaten eggs in a large bowl. Add the spaghetti to the eggs and a little of the reserved cooking water and mix well. Add the cream, Parmesan, cooked chicken and cooked pancetta cubes and stir to combine.
• To serve, divide the pasta and sauce between two bowls. Top with extra Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.

MUSHROOM CARBONARA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and just starting to brown, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions.
• Combine the eggs, 1 cup of the Parmesan and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Once the pasta is cooked, drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Add the pasta to the bowl and toss with tongs to coat. Add the mushrooms, half the pasta water and the remaining cheese, thinning with more water as needed so that the pasta is well coated.
