CHICKEN PASTA CARBONARA
This is one of our all-time favorite weeknight meals. It is quick, simple to prepare, and makes the house smell wonderful while it is cooking. Be sure to have all the ingredients chopped and ready to go prior to cooking. We like our pasta spicy, but you can control the "heat" with the amount of red pepper flakes you use. Serve with hot, crusty bread dipped in great olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
