Pasta Carbonara with Chicken
1 lb spaghetti or favorite pasta
1 Tb Olive oil
1/2 lb. Pancetta or bacon
1 md onion diced
2 breasts of free range organic chicken, seasoned with S & P
1/4 c white wine
4 Eggs
4 Tb heavy cream or half & half
1/2 c grated Parmesan or Ramano cheese
1/4 c frozen peas thawed
Put large bowl in oven to warm at 200 degrees. Chop Pancetta or bacon into 1/4-inch x 1-inch strips. Beat eggs and cream together with a fork. Add about 4 T Parmesan cheese to the mixture. Start cooking the pasta. In the meantime... Saute onions with pancetta or bacon in olive oil until onions are barely translucent.Then add the chicken and sautee till done. Remove chicken, and slice into strips.. Add wine and reduce heat when initial boiling ceases. Bacon/pancetta should not be crisp. When pasta is cooked, drain, but DO NOT WASH. Quickly remove bowl from oven, put pasta in it and toss with egg, cream and cheese mixture so that heat from pasta cooks eggs. Add all meat, onions, peas, and wine without draining fat and toss until thoroughly mixed. Sprinkle remaining cheese to taste, toss and serve immediately.
