My family loved the combination of ingredients. I added extra prosciutto and no peas. Very yummy.
-
Really yummy! Made the recipe exactly as written (used fresh mushrooms since the recipe didn't specify). My whole family enjoyed it. I will be making it again soon.

I had always thought carbonara was frozen and came in a flattish plastic container with a cardboard top that's to be peeled away 1" from the corner before microwaving. Made for Mediterranean Photo Tag. (Man, I forgot the peas.)

Originally rated on 4/7/09 - This recipe made it into my book#266453. We LOVED this recipe!! My daughter's favorite meal is pasta carbonara, but my husband always feels cheated because there isn't much meat. This is the perfect compromise! I only made one change to the recipe, due to our personal preferences. I started the recipe off by frying up about 8 oz. of regular bacon (cut into bite-sized pieces), then adding the garlic, shallots and proceeding with the recipe. We enjoy the flavor of bacon more than prosciutto. The outcome was sooooooooooooo delicious. I loved the addition of peas and chicken, which really made this a complete meal. Fantastic. Simple. Delicious. 10 stars, if I could. ~Made for Spring 2009 Pick-A-Chef~
