Dairy Free Chicken Carbonara

Serves 6
15 minutes
Difficulty Easy
7 Ingredients

A quick delicious dairy free Carbonara recipe. The flavour of the coconut cream is really mild, and guests can’t tell the difference.

Ingredients (serves 6)

400 g diced chicken breast/thigh
250 g bacon, diced
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 400g tin coconut cream
500g fresh pasta
20g oil

Method

Fry onion, garlic, bacon and chicken together until cooked in a frypan.
Add the coconut cream and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally
Whilst the sauce is simmering cook your pasta. If using fresh pasta bring water to boil add a pinch of salt then add the pasta. Fresh pasta only takes a few minutes. You know when pasta is cooked as it floats. If using dried pasta follow the instructions n the packet.
Combine the cooked pasta and sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

A quick simply meal the family will love. You can sub coconut cream with milk. You want a runny consistancy so the sauce coats the pasta nicely.

What a great dairy free recipe. Also egg free too.
How strong is the coconut flavour please?

  The coconut flavour is very mild with the coconut cream/milk I use. This may vary slightly depending on the coconut milk you use. The higher the coconut content the stronger the flavour 🙂

The coconut cream sounds like a good replacement for the dairy cream. A good recipe.

My husband has recently found out he is lactose intolerant, which is a shame because he love carbonara pasta! I’ll have to give this recipe a whirl and see what he thinks! its great that the lactose intolerant amongst us can still enjoy yummy creamy pasta.
