OMG that is absolutely the easiest and delicious recipe I’ve come across the only preparation was cutting up the onion and everything else was just put in slow cooker.

So yummy. Will so be making this again. Was loved by the whole family. I didn’t add mushrooms as the kids and myself do not like them. Silly me only had spaghetti so I used that and was still amazing. I used chicken Breasts and only added 3x 300ml cooking cream instead of the 2x 600ml cream. Was enough as I didn’t add the raw pasta to cook in the juices. I cooked the pasta on the stove top and added to the Carbonara once it was cooked.. And did I say yum yum yummmmmmy.

Love this recipe, halved it the first time and everyone upset there was no leftovers so doubled the next time around. Loved by everyone

Halved the recipe as all comments had said it makes a lot. It does!!
Cooked for 2.5hrs on low, and 45mins on high once I added the pasta.
I would have used less mushrooms (the flavour kinda dominated for me) and double the pasta as there was SO MUCH delicious sauce.
I also would have browned the chicken first as it cooks up pink and kinda scared me, but was definitely cooked.
Family was happy – just needed a loaf of crusty bread to mop up the sauce!!๐

Great recipe!! 2nd time making it and this time I halved the recipe and browned the chicken, bacon, and mushrooms before popping them In and added garlic and sundried tomatoes. 600ml cream was still a little too much for my tummy so I swapped it out for 300ml cream and filled the empty soup tin with chicken stock, then cooked for around 3/3.5 hours, served with spinach and parmesan . Was still plenty of leftovers, and everyone loved it! 10/10 will make again โบ๏ธ
Thanks Pauline!

Great recipe I made the full amount as I freeze meals for late nights after kids activities. My fussy 8 year old tried it and told me it was a little bit yummy and will eat it for her dinner. She doesnโt eat anything. Will be a regular in our house now was very simple to make

This was such a delicious and easy recipe to make! Like so many others, I halved the ingredients for my smaller, 3L slow cooker. (And still had leftovers)! I think Iโll use even less soup/cream next time though.

Absolutely delicious and filling, I halved the recipe and made a few adjustments. I browned off all the ingredients first and also added 150 grams of diced pancetta. Into the slow cooker for 3 hours on low with tea towel under the lid. Then i whisked up an egg and stirred it through and added a handful of shredded parmesan cheese. I added 350grams of fresh pasta for 30 minutes keeping the cooker on low. Definitely a keeper. Thanks so much again for another wonderful recipe

Made this tonight- amazing!!!!
Few recommendations – firstly, and I cannot stress this enough, unless you are feeding a footy team, halve the recipe, at least!!! This filled my 6.5ltr slow cooker almost to the brim. I made the full recipe, I fed 2 adults and a growing teen boy, and we have barely made a dent.
Next – brown the bacon, onion, mushrooms and chicken before adding to slow cooker. I also added about double the garlic and couldโve gone more (we love garlic lol)
I also found I had to mix it a couple of times after adding the pasta, as it was starting to clump. I used fettuccini and even broke it in half.
Next time I think Iโll either leave out the stock cube (I only used half this time), or use one tin of chicken and one of mushroom, as the chicken flavour was quite strong.
All in all though, we LOVED this dish, we are currently all still wandering into the kitchen to pick at it, 4 hours later!!!! Seriously though, go back to point one. Happy cooking!

This was so easy to make and produced so much. Will need to do less sauce next time – not that I have any regrets about how much I had. I dislike mushrooms so didnโt add any in, but did put in a packet of pine nuts at the beginning which added to the flavour and cooked through perfectly. Would definitely make again when a need an easy meal.
Jenna

Love this recipe! I halved the ingredients as it makes a lot of sauce and cook for 3hours on low, i the added around 400g of penne pasta and cooked for another hour

And can you let us know Jenna how that alters your cooking times for folks who may also like to halve it ๐

Delicious. Having strong pregnancy cravings for chicken carbonara and this did not dissapoint. Used diced chicken breast and almost doubled the garlic. Even the fussiest eaters devoured a bowl in no time.
Lauren

Made this tonight with what I had in the fridge. Only had 1 bottle of cream, and not quite enough chicken. It turned out AMAZING and full of flavour!! So much left over I have frozen one container and have another in the fridge. Definitely on the list to make again!!

This is my go to meal if we get unexpected visitors and have never had a complaint. Even my most fussy kids eat it and it makes so much we end up with 1-2 meals left over. Being a family of 10 itโs a cheap easy meal

Thus recipe is the bo.b ๐ฃ used chicken breast this tome & small pasta varieties instead of fettuccine reduced cooking time once pasta added from 1.5h to 70m. Cooked in my Breville Flavour Maker which cooks at hotter temperature ๐

Great easy recipe. As there is only two of us i halved the recipe and there was enough for two meals. It is magnificent and by far the best carbonara I’ve ever had!!
Donna
August 18, 2020
OMG this was amazing I halved it and still have plenty of left overs for another few meals. I also browned the chicken, bacon, onion mushrooms and garlic (added extra garlic too yummmm) swapped the fettuccine for penne and didnt cook it for quite as long either 2.5hrs on low then added pasta for 45min on high. Some grated parmesan cheese on top when served definitely will make again

Any alterations to cooking time when you halved it GAil? I know that’s a question folks often ask x
Gail

My son doesn’t like creamy pasta and nor does my waistline but I substituted evaporated milk and it was delicious and much less calories. I halved the recipe because I only had 600-700 g of chicken. I still added the full amount of garlic though. I added a packet of salt-reduced French onion soup but next time I think I might halve it as it was a tiny bit overpowering . My son loved it and I fully expected him not to so that was a plus!
Ronda
August 1, 2020
So easy and yum.
With only 2 of us l still made the full mix taking the word of people who say it freezes well.
I now have a couple of meals in the freezer for busy days.
I did only use one bottle of cream and made the other 600mls up with chicken stock.
It was creamy enough for us.

Kara
July 11, 2020
This is hubbys absolute fave meal – especially after freezing & re-heating for work lunches (the other guys say it smells so good). Iโve done it a few ways to tweak, the best for us is browning off the chicken/bacon/garlic/onion & slightly mushroom all first to add another layer of flavour then only cooking for 3hrs rather than 4. I also swap out one of the chicken cans for a mushroom (so itโs not as โchickenyโ), swap out fettuccine for short spiral pasta too so it doesnโt clump & only cook for about 1hour after adding the pasta so the pasta isnโt as mushy.
Kim
July 6, 2020
OMG I wish I had made this sooner. Absolutely incredible and restaurant quality. I made it stove top, and only used one bottle of cream and one can of soup. Absolute perfection!
Kaitlin
July 3, 2020
It didn’t come out as good, was expecting it to be delicious. But it came out dense and only tasting like cream of chicken soup, I followed the recipe step by step. Won’t be making this again

This dish was divine, amazing, I’m sorry I hadn’t tried this recipe earlier, I used 600g chicken thighs, 600ml Cooking Cream, 1 tin of soup, and added penne pasta for extra 45 mins after 4 .5 hours and topped with shaved parmesan cheese, Devine its a must try
Colleen Bishop
May 14, 2020
Omg! So good. I swapped the thickened cream for evaporated milk as someone else has said you could sub for. Was amazing. Everyone in our house raved over it.
Will definitely be having again and I will be recommending to all my friends!

This is the best carbonara ever!!! Quick easy and delicious. If you haven’t done it yet you are missing out.
Rebecca
May 5, 2020
Thank you, i tried this on Sunday. It was really delicious. The only thing i would change is the cooking time for the pasta. It didn’t need 1.5 hours. Mine was cooked in 40 mins – i used curly fettuccine.
Rebecca
May 1, 2020
Is there a substitute for the cream of chicken soup? Unfortunately non of them are gluten free! Maybe an extra stock cube?

This recipe is my all time favourite! I do halve it though as that is still a big portion for my family. The only thing I triple is the garlic! So tasty!!!

Absolutely delicious. For anyone in the UK – I used double cream and it worked just fine.

This is a regular winter meal for us. Family of four so I halve the recipe and also find it is delicious even without the stock cube, so don’t bother with it (I am a less ingredients the better type of cook!) The kids and partner love it, and it’s a perfect indulgent dish for cold weather.
Toni
March 29, 2020
Halved recipe and made with 1/2 long life cream and 1/2 milk because I didnโt have enough cream. Also added a splash of sweet chilli sauce. Loved it ๐
Teagan Jones
March 29, 2020
A modified version of this is an absolute FAVOURITE in our house! Including some very fussy eaters. I halve the recipe, and omit the stock cube, and it’s still incredible. And we still have left overs for a family of 2 adults and 2 toddlers. Still cook for the same amount of time. Delightful indulgent winter dinner.
Amanda G
March 29, 2020
Made a half serve of this to tonight. I quickly fried off the chicken, bacon and mushrooms and only use 200ml of cream (Australian Own cream uht) and a teaspoon of chicken stock powder and a tin of condensed chicken soup. Added penne pasta instead of the fettuccine. Delicious and my toddler needed seconds.

this is yum and if you freeze it defrost in the microwave on defrost setting and it doesn’t split
Amanda
March 23, 2020
Love this recipe!.Weโve enjoyed it many times now. I throw everything into the slow cooker (no pre-cooking anything). We freeze the left overs and reheat without any problems. With limits on everything at the supermarket at the present time, today Iโm cooking it with 1 x can of soup and 1 x 600ml cream this time and Iโm pretty darn sure itโll still be fabulous (as thereโs usually plenty of creamy sauce).
Adrienne

Absolutely delicious! Made the full recipe but halved the sauce to serve. I did have to cook the pasta seperately as the slow cooker I used was very full when I put all the other ingredients in! Another easy dish that my family really enjoyed

Hi. As I would love to freeze this would it be ok to replace the cream with evaporated milk?
I’m ok with the pasta being frozen just not crazy about freezing the cream. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ann
August 20, 2019
Beautiful! The amount of cream is horrifying though, so this will have to be adjusted to my familyโs taste. I was dubious about cooking the cream for so long but it was fine. I was also dubious about adding pasta, raw and cooking it in the sauce but that, too, worked perfectly. I used casarecce pasta and it was perfect
Britt Jacobson-Mills

Just cooked this up today for dinner and OMG the flavour is incredible!! Great for these cold Winter nights. Will definitely become a new favourite in my house. I did change up a few things after reading the comments. I only added 1x tin of soup and 1x 600mL cream. In the last 30 min I also added about 1/2 cup shredded tasty cheese and 3x tbs grated parmesan. I cooked that pasta separately to save time and I actually used rigatoni instead so it’s easier for the kids to eat. I heated some peas and just stirred them through before serving. Simple and very tasty dinner ๐
Lisa Soligo

Incredible flavour, everything cooked beautifully – the chicken just falls apart. My husband, 1 year old and I loved it. Very heavy meal and Iโd recommend halving the recipe if just for a few people. We have more than enough to last us for days. Glad we gave this a try ๐

Finally cooked pasta carbonara last night and after all the reviews thought this meal was on a hiding to nothing! ( no meal could be that awesome as the comments suggested๐). And I was wrong. This is one of the nicest, easiest meals I have ever tasted. I was worried about the quantities of cooking cream and soup so halved to 600 mls of cooking cream and 1 can condensed crime of chicken soup. Felt there was plenty of sauce and this will be a regular from now on. Thankyou Natalie for this wonderful recipe. ๐๐๐

Karen
June 27, 2019
I made this last night and it got a thumbs up from the whole family :). I only made half the quantity but still had more than enough for the 4 of us. I brown the chicken, bacon, mushies and onion before cooking and cooked for 5 hrs on low. I did the pasta seperate. I left the lid off the slow cooker while the pasta was cooking to reduce liquid. Will be making this again!

You can just crumble it in to dissolve during cooking or dissolve in a spalsh of hot water first if you prefer

I made this in the Phillips 6L multicooker and it spilt a little out of the top from the lid(I used the bake option on the vent so pressure didnt build up) however once I removed the lid after the first 4 hrs to add in pasta it was fine. If you want to make this carbonara in the phillips multicooker, try halfing the recipe. It was a great feed though, whole family loved it โคโค

Karen Sinclair

Whole family loved this. Did as Pauline suggested and browned chicken, garlic, onions and mushrooms prior to placing in slow cooker (mainly because I was short on time and wanted to speed it up a little). Then cooked on low for 2.5 hours then added pasta (used penne instead of fettucine) and cooked for further 1.5 hours on high as per original recipe. Added a bag of spinach which I had in the fridge for the last 20 mins for some extra vegetables. Served with some diced avocado on top and parmesan cheese. Plenty left over for lunches the next day. Great recipe thank you. Will definitely be making this again ๐

Amazing pasta….. Kids and husband absolutely loved it!! And super easy….. Sauce was a bit runny but thickened as it cools down…. Will probably add more pasta next time to help soak up that extra liquid and help it stretch further for even more left overs!!! ๐

WOW! This is a wonderful recipe. I’ve made this sauce couple of times now in my 3ltr but as there are only two of us I halve the recipe which is enough for tea and leftovers for lunch.
The first time I added precooked Beef Ravioli but no chicken. The second time I added shredded cooked chook in from the night before in the last 30 minutes.
Both times I have cooked it on low for 8+ hours and added pasta cooked on the stove.
Next time I will add chicken from the start which will be lovely even if it shreds apart.
Thanks for sharing Nataline.

August 10, 2016

After adding the pasta, I’m assuming you mix it in initially, my question is do you have to stir it at all after adding it or before serving it? I’m extremely confused how the fettuccine does not stick together and become a giant ball of partially cooked in some parts and over cooked in other parts.

Looking to making this but halving the recipe, would cooking time still be the same or les?

This recipe is so easy & tastes fantastic. New addition to the household dinner list. I was dubious about adding the pasta & thought it might clump together or not cook well but it works great.
Can’t go wrong with this one!

Tried this recipe yesterday but played with it a little bit; didn’t add chicken, I made it for 2 and added some chopped spring onion on top when served. I used penne pasta, added garlic but omitted the chicken stock cube. I was very reluctant to put raw pasta (my lovely husband is so fussy and ends up not eating it). I will say this: I am never making it any other way. My husband who, again is very fussy, devouvered in record time and went for seconds. He even said it is the best past he ever ate. Amasing, just amasing.

Brilliant recipe! Will definitely be a regular here. Even the fussy 3yo had 2 serves. A delicious and easy meal to prepare, no sides required and a flavour that’s spot on.

Loved this, plenty of flavour and heaps left for left overs. I did find it to be a little too thick but I still managed to leave my plate empty lol! Was delicious!!!

K i have a few probably silly questions. One what is thickened cream? Heavy cream? An 600 ml is what in oz ? Lol

I only used 1x 600 ml cream and just used extra chicken stock to make up the liquid amount. Very tasty and a huge hit with everyone!

Easy to make and super tasty! Makes a generous amount even when I halved the original recipe. I substituted mushrooms with some zucchini and added it with the Pasta towards the end. Very happy with this recipe!

Didn’t have enough cream in the fridge so used a cream and a tin of evaporated milk, also used penne rather than fettucine. The family went nuts for it! The best thing that’s ever come out of my slow cooker. Thanks for posting.

Has anyone tried cooking with Greek yogurt in place of cream? Have read this somewhere but never tried.

Would this be as good without the mushrooms? I’d love to try it but can’t eat mushrooms any more ๐

Ours didn’t split
If in doubt though use cooking cream that resists splitting ๐

Would the cream not split if u cook on low for 4 hrs? I’ve had a few mishaps with other recipes when I add in the cream.

Do you cook the fettucine first and then put in slow cooker or add it un cooked and cook for an hour

OMG absolutely amazing ? Can’t fault a thing. I christened my brand new SC with this recipe and I was so glad I did, huge hit with my hubby ? We got 9 generous serves out of this & it froze and reheated well.

Oh so naughty with all that cream, but oh so nice! I halved everything, made five generous servings, plus a small serve left over for lunch tomorrow. I cooked it on high for one and a half hours, then added pasta and cooked a further one and a half hours. Will definately be making this again, but will save it for a special occasion.

I guess that means you created a winner ๐

Great recipe. I use chicken breasts and only 1 tub of thickened cream. When the pasta is in I just add a little water as needed. Also you should mention that if using fettuccine you will have to stir it half way through cooking otherwise it sticks together. So delish!

Family lived it although thought it was to creamy… Maybe use a little less next time but other than that, it was delicious

Note: We pre browned chicken & bacon, onion, mushrooms & garlic at start
And swapped the fettuccine for penne
Just brilliant this dish ??

Firstly something amazing happened …..
Not only everyone ate it but my fussy 2yr old wanted seconds!!!!
Now she eats most things we give her – but she eats like a bird
She HOOKED into this then into seconds ?
Both my boys ate it with gusto ?
And hubbies plate was empty in about 2 minutes flat as he too headed back for seconds!!
I’m pretty sure I made moaning noises as I ate!
lol lol lol lol
Seriously …. This was AMAZING!!!
I give it 5/5 stars without ANY hesitation ??

Sooo yummy.
I used chicken breast instead.
Also didn’t use the stock cube.
I also halved all ingredients but still used 500g fettuccine so towards the end when the pasta was soaking up the liquid I added 1.5 cups of water and stirred through. Perfect to not used so much condensed soup and cream. Very delicious, will be a favourite.

This was an absolute hit in our house. I left out the chicken and used aldi’s ham & cheese tortellini instead of the fettuccine. Hubby made me promise to never lose this recipe!

Pasta carbonara for the first time tonight. I halved the recipe, but cooked a full package of pasta separately. Still have LOTS left over. Itโs been voted into the monthly meal plan rotation. Thank you for a delicious and easy recipe Nataline Smith.
