Chicken And Mushroom Carbonara Recipes

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.

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.

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.
