A super quick and easy Chicken Pasta Bake the whole family will enjoy, with a cheesy carbonara twist.
This a one of those great weekday dinners that can be made quickly in the evening, simply boil the pasta, brown the bacon, garlic and onion in the saucepan, shred the chicken and add the sauce ingredients into a jug. Mix everything together in the saucepan and pour into a casserole dish.
Then sprinkle with cheese. This Chicken Carbonara Pasta Bake is not creamy despite having a creamy sauce base. When baked the cream and eggs cook together to make a quiche-like texture.

this looks soooo yum! I’ve already printed this ready for t-ball training night when we get home late and there is no time to cook – I can cook before we go and set the timer on the oven to turn off and it will still be nice and warm when we get home!
I love pasta bakes for these types of nights. Did you enjoy it?
This should freeze okay, shouldn’t it?
One thing I’d change with this recipe is the vegetable content. Needs a lot more veggies which would be easy to include. I add chopped veggies to the pasta water to save time and washing up.
My kids LOVE creamy pasta, am SO trying this one tonight. Pasta sauce from a jar is disgusting 🙂
Hope your family enjoy this beautiful easy dish as much as we did! Enjoy.:)
They did! It was fantastic! It’s a keeper now, hubby ate 2 bowls!!!
Not too eggy??
