Comfort food. This Carbonara is simple to make and tastes great - even better the next day. It's not traditional in the sense that there are no peas or eggs (kind of a big deal), but Carbonara is what we call it around here! Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts |
2 tablespoons italian dressing |
1 lb bacon |
2 (19 ounce) cans diced tomatoes |
1 (385 ml) can evaporated milk |
1 (170 ml) can heavy cream |
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
750 g whole wheat linguine |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Marinate the chicken breasts in Italian dressing.
2. Chop bacon into 1/4 pieces and fry over medium-high heat in a large saucepan until well done. Drain off the bacon fat.
3. In the meantime, cook the noodles and broil or barbecue the chicken. Dice the chicken in to bite-sized pieces.
4. Into the hot bacon, add the diced tomatoes, then the red pepper flakes, chicken and any chicken drippings. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently until slightly reduced.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the evaporated milk and thick cream.
6. Serve over linguine noodles with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
