I made David Venable's chicken carbonara this week.  It was good and easy if anyone's looking for something different.  I added a bit of shredded mozarella to the top of mine while my husband added parmesan.  

Here's a short video of him making it:

Ingredients:

1 pound spaghetti

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon & 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

8 ounces turkey bacon

1 rotisserie chicken (remove meat & shred)

1 3/4 cup chicken broth

2 8 oz. mascarpone cheese containers

3/4 frozen peas

Bring a large pot of water with a tablespoon of salt to boil.  Add the spaghetti and cook until tender.  Drain spaghetti in colander, but don't rinse it.

Heat the oil in the same pot over medium-high heat.  Add turkey bacon and cook until browned (about 5 minutes).  Stir chicken, broth, mascaropone, peas, garlic, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and the drained spaghetti.  Reduce heat to medium and cook 10 minutes while stirring frequently until everything is combined.

Sounds delicious except I'd use pork bacon. He shouldn't call it carbonara though. This is nothing like carbonara as it is classically known.

I think pork bacon would be good too.  This is from his comfort food short cuts cookbook, so I guess that's why it's different from traditional recipes.

What is funny is that the real carbonara recipe only has 4 ingredients, long pasta, guaranciale, panchetta or bacon, eggs and hard cheese like parmasan or pecorino romano or mix of both  and then black pepper lol Now thats a Supermarket Shortcut that needs no shortcut lolg

I'd call it chicken mac and cheese with bacon.  Which is basically what it is.
