Leftover magic

Yesterday we were lucky enough to catch up with family who we haven't see in 5 months. Roast chicken buns for lunch and so much leftover, that again hubby had chicken sandwiches for dinner and lunch today!

Already due to this challenge I have discovered with a few key ingredients in the house a yummy meal is not far away. This particular meal goes to show that a creamy pasta does not need to go to your ass and you don't need to add chicken either for this pasta to be nice. It is also a 10 minute meal - which is brilliant.

Lefties Creamy Carbonara
300g fettuccine
4 rashers of bacon, chopped
1 onion, finely diced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup carnation light and creamy evaporated milk
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp parmesan
Leftover chicken

METHOD
  1. Cook pasta according to directions on the packet.
  2. Heat fry pan, add bacon ad oio, cook 3 minutes, then add mushrooms and left over chicken, cook for a further minute.
  3. Add combined carnation light and creamy evaporated milk and cornflour (using the above trick of the trade), bring to boil, stirring, add pasta, remove from heat.
  4. Sprinkle with cheese and serve immediately. Serves 4
