Carbonara Recipes

Love this dish for its short cooking time. Just add a green salad or seasonal vegetable and the meal is complete. Included are some variations to keep the recipe interesting in case you find yourself making it over and over again.

Notes: The heat from the hot pasta partly cooks the eggs. If you are concerned about eating raw or undercooked eggs, use 1/2 cup pasteurized eggs in lieu of fresh.

Olive Garden has a tempting Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara, but it has over 1400 calories and 3 grams of sodium. With stats like these, I could only afford a tiny taste and I want to enjoy the whole dish.

While the original dish has shrimp, I want to simplify the preparation by limiting the proteins. Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta is a good compromise between whole grain pasta and white flour pasta. The egg substitute can be replaced with egg whites you don't keep both whole eggs and egg substitute at home.

Still sinfully good comfort food!

Awesome Packet based pasta with add in pasta, mushrooms, bacon and onions with bulgarian yogurt tooo delicious

This bacon-y pasta dish is vegetarian, and delicious! Instead of bacon, fry tofu with onions, a bit of olive oil, and bacon salt to make faux bacon.

This recipe does not take pasta-cooking time into account, as I keep cooked pasta in my fridge for quick meals!

not low fat or sodium, but that can be fixed by substituting for the egg yolk, bacon and heavy cream

A quick easy fix with ingredients often found in my kitchen. My son loves it too! If I am low on my numbers for calories, carbs and fats for the day I usually indulge in this one!

this is simple to make and, I have been making it for years, my kids love it!

A takeoff on traditional carbonara using diced ham instead of pancetta and throwing in some red pepper flakes. Not your usual cream-based sauce, but still sinfully rich!

This high-fiber lower-fat version of a traditional carbonara dish makes 2 large dinner-sized servings or 3-4 smaller side servings. Try to find the leanest cut of peameal bacon (a kind of back bacon rolled in cornmeal), or else trim all visible fat from the meat.
