Chicken Mushroom Carbonara

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same pan, add the garlic and mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.

5. 5

   Return the chicken to the pan with the mushrooms and garlic. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to combine.

6. 6

   Remove the pan from the heat and quickly stir in the egg and cheese mixture, ensuring the eggs do not scramble. The residual heat will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce.

7. 7

   Add the red pepper flakes and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

8. 8

   Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
