Don't have a carbonara recipe in your repertoire but want to try this comfort food Italian classic? Don't worry! All you need is a little pouch of carbonara cooking sauce and a few pantry staples (and 20 minutes, or less if you make our multi-cooker one-pot version). This sauce is so versatile, it works on the stovetop, in the multi-cooker, the slow cooker or the oven (our oven version takes the comfort food factor up a notch by using gnocchi instead of spaghetti- yum!). Chicken in a rich and creamy sauce with peas and bacon and Parmesan? Yes, please!
Step 1
Cook and drain the spaghetti according to the package directions. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and done. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Slice the chicken, cover and keep warm.
Step 2
Add the sauce and peas to the skillet and heat to a boil. Add the cooked spaghetti and chicken and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the bacon and cheese before serving.
