Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta bacon, chopped
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
4 cups shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken
2 ½ cups heavy cream, at room temperature
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or more to taste
3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup chopped Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 4 minutes. Add pancetta and prosciutto; saute until crisp and brown, about 8 minutes. Add chicken and saute until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg yolks, basil, and parsley together in a large bowl until blended.
  • Return chicken mixture to the stove over medium-low heat. Add drained penne and cream mixture; toss over medium-low heat until penne is thickly coated, about 4 minutes; do not let it boil or the eggs will scramble. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Transfer to a large, wide serving bowl and serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less butter and cream next time.

I had a hard time finding guanciale, so I used pancetta instead. The dish still turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of chicken in my carbonara, but this recipe was still very good. The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked al dente.

I thought the carbonara sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly.
