Chicken Pasta Carbonara image

This is one of our all-time favorite weeknight meals. It is quick, simple to prepare, and makes the house smell wonderful while it is cooking. Be sure to have all the ingredients chopped and ready to go prior to cooking. We like our pasta spicy, but you can control the "heat" with the amount of red pepper flakes you use. Serve with hot, crusty bread dipped in great olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

This carbonara was delicious! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a great pasta dish.

This carbonara was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and cheesy, and the chicken was a bit dry. I would probably make this recipe again, but I would use less cream and cheese.

This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was watery and the chicken was dry.

I thought the carbonara was a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, but the flavor was spot-on. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll thin out the sauce a bit.

I've made carbonara many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of chicken adds a nice touch of protein and flavor.
