Pasta carbonara with chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace chicken with pancetta, bacon, or even shrimp for a different flavor. Adjust cooking times accordingly for the protein you choose.
Skip the chicken and add mushrooms, zucchini, or tofu for a vegetarian version. You can also include extra cheese or a splash of cream for richness.
A crisp green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables complement this dish well. A light white wine also pairs nicely.
Pasta carbonara is best served fresh, but you can prep ingredients in advance. Store cooked pasta and chicken separately, then combine and reheat gently.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to revive the sauce.
Use spiralized zucchini (zoodles) or spaghetti squash instead of pasta for a low-carb option. Adjust cooking times as these cook faster.
Freezing is not recommended as the egg sauce may separate upon reheating. For best results, enjoy it fresh or store in the fridge.
Temper the egg mixture by slowly adding a spoonful of hot pasta water before mixing it in. Keep heat low when combining.
Long, sturdy pasta like spaghetti, fettuccine, or bucatini are ideal for carbonara. They hold the sauce well without breaking apart.
