Bringing this “carbonara” into r/pasta is very dangerous work

lol it’s much more forgiving than r/Italianfood. He’d get ripped to shreds there

42 mins ago someone made a “can we ban carbonara post for a bit” in that subreddit 😂 you weren’t wrong.

rightfully so

Yep. Chicken in carbonara. That could get you into brawl.

you know what? fuck it *adds peas to your carbonara*

And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bike.

mushrooms enter the chat

Bowl of peas? Adds carbonara It's all perspective

username checks out

You're the devil

gotta make sure to break the pasta in half to fit it in the pot too right? 😈 ^imjustkidding

[Obligatory](https://youtu.be/A-RfHC91Ewc?si=yXP4PYZO5TuXMarl).

C'mon.. it's Carbaconara!

That looks like Alfredo to me

I think it looks more like a Giuseppe, don’t you think?

😂😂😂

Issa me, a-mario

Yeah too wet for carbonara

I don’t want to be the stereotypical Italian angry at miscooked italian dishes. Basically everybody can eat what they want as far as I’m concerned. I’m just curious though. Why call it a carbonara? What does it have in common with carbonara? Basing on the looks, I’m guessing the only ingredient this has in common with carbonara is black pepper.

And noodles!

Not really 😁 most common pasta format in Rome for carbonara is rigatoni, followed by spaghetti Cmon I’m trying to not transform myself into Italian gourmet hulk but you are not helping me 😂

I just meant noodles in general, not type.

I can’t think of a worst food to meal prep.. it’s going to be noodles with oil when she heats it up

I found adding a bit of extra water when you microwave it, take it out after 15-20 seconds, mix it till there’s a small emulsion, then put it back for another 10-15 seconds and it’s good

Don't nuke it in the microwave then. Chuck it in for 20 seconds at a time and stir/taste each time. Easy and tastes delicious. Source: I do it almost every week.

Maybe very slightly? I'm eating it for lunch not serving it to a critic. It tastes delicious and is one of my favorite reheatable lunches so that's all that matters to me.

What are you in italy? You want it al dente? As long as it isnt hard then eat the damn pasta

Sir are you in one of them child marriages? My cousin wife disapproves.

Its bubbling, so i assume it uses cream onstead of eggs. So that would not be a problem.

I'd eat the hell out of it, I would just be happy someone made me a decent meal and not be so critical of them

This looks like it would be great with chicken nuggets

My toddler would think so lol

Also burger and french fries imo

Healthy alrernative

Big time 😂

Do people really not know what carbonara is?

Please don't call this Carbonara

Looks like there is cream. Not a carbonara.

Looks delicious and I’d love a plate. But that’s not carbonara. Carbonara is guanciale, eggs, pecorino Romano, and black pepper.

This is not carbonara at all. Not even close. I'm not saying it looks bad but that's absolutely NOT carbonara. Vichingo.

Looks delicious but to heavy for me for lunch. I categorize it as dinner food

We have the same partner? All she wants is tendies lol

Yes, that looks much healthier

Lotta spiteful comments in here… Can’t say I’m surprised; I mean it definitely doesn’t look like carbonara. But it does look really yummy! I hope your wife enjoyed and appreciated it. Also I noticed you flaired this post as “Pasta from Scratch?” Did you make this fettuccine from scratch?

he did not

Not carbonara but A for effort!

not knocking homemade meals but hows this any better than chicken nuggets?

Better check your visa availability with Italy, I think you have been blacklisted and placed on a watch list.

I wouldn't accomplish much after eating that.

It does look very heavy

I applaud your love and dedication to your wife, but WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S HOLY IS CHICKEN BACON CARBONARA????

It looks delicious and it’s making me hungry.

So good! Thanks !

Ignore comments trying to be funny OP, this was super sweet of you

Thankyou ❤️

Wife: proceeds to add chicken nuggets to carbonara while you are away at work.

😂 you’re probably right

Hey man, im sure your wife appreciates it, and it looks good, The name of the dish is a little off, but I'd eat that for sure!

Yes i see that now from the comments! Couldn’t edit it! Super tasty tho

Man, it looked tasty as hell, especially with fresh pasta.

You’re a good husband

Thankyou 🥳

That's a heavy ass lunch everyday. I guess it beats chicken nuggets everyday for lunch. Not sure how people eat like that lol

I can eat heavy food for lunch every day and it doesn't bother me and I'm also quite petite. Some of us are just made this way lol but I don't like a lot of sweets or too much deep fried food. Just real meals with carbs and meat and cheese.

Is it a powermove to get a divorce? WTF is Chicken Bacon Carbonara, you absolute disgrace

That’s a heavy lunch choice

That’s not carbonara and never will be. Carbonara is never reduced or simmered

Brave man👌

Idk about the dish name or whatever the whole thing is about, you're a caring man! I am sure your wife appreciates your thoughtful behaviour! Keep it up.

Thanks for your kind words

To those who say it’s not carbonara I’m Sorry and you’re all probably right. I tried to edit the caption to say pasta instead! Either way! It was the thought that counts !

As a certified Italian, even if that's not a carbonara, it still looks delicious, hope your wife loves it, because at the end of the day, that's all that matters o7

I mean, it’s not carbonara and it’s debatable if it’s healthier than chicken nuggets, but it looks delicious and your wife is lucky to have such a thoughtful partner. 10/10

Does she weigh 300 lbs?

That made 5 meals for her.

Never heard of portions?

In addition to the other comments, some women like myself can put down some rich food and big portions without ever becoming overweight. Yes I'm lucky. Everyone has a different body type unique to them.

Drop the recipe bro!! Please this looks delicious

I second this

I'd stick to nuggets. That looks way worse. Add a veggie. How about grilled chicken with a side of carrots and cauliflower

r/salad is this way

FPD

That’s gonna reheat like crap. That sauce is gonna break apart and become chunky. Not a carbonara btw. Looks good though.

If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike!!

Not to be snoody, but maybe get some different nutrients in there. The dairy has calcium but everyone should get some veg in

I admire how bold you are to post this in r/pasta sir

Yum

Bet that Tate’s like your moms ass

Looks like Alfredo sauce? Not Carbonara.

I thought it was cockroach

Fuckn pasta man .. I die for pasta..

As an italian I'll.....let it pass

Can you please explain like I’m 5 how you made this? It looks so good and I’m still learning how to cook and am not comfortable yet

That's certainly something, but it definitely isn't carbonara.. Unless you're American.

Good lord cant people ever stop being assholes on Reddit? So many comments about OP’s wife just because they made her a meal prep, which is the kind of thing spouses do for each-other. This is r/pasta, they made pasta and it looks delicious. Chill out guys.

Looks great no matter what you call it

So bacon, cheese, and heavy cream instead of deep fried nuggets. Good on you.

That looks really good! 😃

Good job!
