Chicken Carbonara

Pasta has always been one of my all-time favorite foods. I could eat it any day of the week—and honestly, I probably have! I especially love long noodles like fettuccine or linguine, the kind you can twirl right around your fork and savor in every creamy, dreamy bite. When my kids were little, pasta was the one thing they always said yes to at dinnertime—no complaints, no negotiations, just happy, noodle-slurping smiles.
This chicken carbonara takes everything I love about pasta night and makes it even better. It’s filled with crispy bacon, juicy chicken, and a rich, parmesan-packed sauce that clings to every strand of pasta. The sauce comes together in minutes with eggs, cream, and a touch of black pepper, creating that classic carbonara silkiness.
It’s simple, comforting, and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re feeding your family or hosting friends, this chicken carbonara is the kind of recipe that brings everyone to the table—forks ready.
