Baked Chicken Carbonara with Spaghetti
  1. 1

    Assemble all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Cook pancetta in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Boil spaghetti in lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Drain the pasta and reserve 2 cups of the pasta water.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, add the egg yolks to a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.

  5. 5

    Gradually pour 1 1/2 cups hot pasta water over the egg yolks while whisking vigorously, making sure to whisk constantly so the eggs do not scramble.

  6. 6

    Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, then the heavy cream.

  7. 7

    Add the cooked pasta, pancetta, and chicken to the sauce and toss to combine. Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared dish.

  8. 8

    Bake until hot and the sauce has thickened, 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

  9. 9

    Remove from the oven, stir, and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the sauce to continue thickening. Add additional pasta water, as desired, for a saucier pasta.

  10. 10

    Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
