Chicken Carbonara Deluxe

"This is yet another recipe that my husband enjoys. You can add vegetables if you'd like (peas, portabella mushrooms, etc.). Also, the sauce may need doubling so be sure you have extra on hand just in case it's not to your liking. We always double our sauce!"

  1. This is super easy to prepare and so delicious! I used whole wheat spaghettini noodles and threw in some sliced fresh mushrooms and broccoli florets while frying the onion and garlic. The sauce to noodle ratio was right on! My whole family enjoyed this for dinner, thanks for posting :)

I'm a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) of two beautiful little girls, Cassandra (4) and Katherine (1 1/2). I love to cook, especially desserts as I have a BIG sweet tooth! I also like to karaoke but I haven't been able to go out and sign since my first daughter was born! I also love photography, crafting, jewelry making, and working out (of which I hope I'll start doing again soon! *lol* my 1 1/2 year old is starting to be "people" friendly which will allow me to put her in the nursery at the gym!). <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
