Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara
By- MtnChic828
I absolutely loved this dish at Olive Garden, Then they took it away, So sad! I have searched and tried many online. I have changed and added until I came up with what I thought is a close carbon copy of the Original. Tho, The authentic Italian dish would call for Pancetta, I found that after trying both, I just like the Bacon flavor better.. I guess that's the Mountain Chick in me. I hope you enjoy it and Please subscribe on Youtube- MtnChic828 and follow my Blog at Mtnchic/Blogspot.com. Follow my Videos for Discount Codes on your Getaway stay in the North Carolina Mountains.
