Lactose Free Carbonara
There is nothing better than sitting on the couch enjoying a creamy home made pasta dish. Unless you're Lactose Intolerant and in that case, your s**t outta luck!
Or are you? [insert creepy face]
Before I found out I was Lactose Intolerant, I would make my Chicken Carbonara dish ALL the time! If I was making dinner for a special occasion, that was my go-to. Needless to say, it was a sad realization when I found out I could no longer make/eat this dish. That was until I learned about Lactose Free products.
So here is my tummy friendly, lactose free, deliciously modified recipe. If you give it a go, please give me your feedback!
Ingredients
- 500g Chicken Breast (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 300ml tub Lactose Free Thickened Cream (I use Zymil)
- 250g Bacon (chopped)
- 1 Brown Onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves of garlic or 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 handful of Lactose Free Shredded Cheese (I use Liddells)
- Fettuccine
- 1 teaspoon flour
- Salt & white pepper - to taste
Method
- Add olive oil to frying pan. Chop up bacon, onion & garlic. Add into hot frying pan & cook until bacon starts to brown & the onions go translucent. Remove onion & bacon mixture & set aside.
- Add additional olive oil to frying pan. Add diced chicken & cook until browned. Once chicken is cooked, return bacon & onion to frying pan.
- Pour cream into frying pan & mix all together. Add in cheese & allow it to melt. Add flour to thicken sauce to your desired consistency.
- Cook pasta in a separate pot as per instructions. Once cooked, drain & spoon carbonara sauce directly onto hot pasta.
- Serve & enjoy!
Note: You can add in Mushrooms & Parmesan cheese should you wish.
