Ever wanted to serve your family and friends the lusciousness of a big, indulgent serving of traditional carbonara, but worried about your health and the calories you consume? This quick and easy carbonara recipe makes use of the filling, nutritious and tasty protein found in tuna chunks instead of fattening ham or bacon, and skips the usual enriched sauce with egg yolks while still retaining its creamy goodness.
The sliced mushrooms and the hint of lemon only enhance the flavors of this delightful variation of a favorite Italian recipe. Serve a heaping plateful of this with lots of garlic bread and some parsley and grated cheese on top, for an impressive dish that’s a breeze to whip up in the kitchen even with only a limited amount of time to prepare something to eat. Sprinkle chilli flakes in for a bit of heat, if so desired.
