Step cooking
We prepare the components of the dish
- Boil about 2 liters of water in a large saucepan and boil the pasta until cooked.

- Cut 400-500 g of chicken breast into small cubes, simultaneously freeing from veins and cartilage.
- Chop the small onion into small cubes.
- Finely chop 2-3 cloves of garlic and combine with chopped onion in a separate cup.
- Chop the mushrooms in pieces, if the mushrooms are small, cut into 4 parts.
- Dissolve 100 g of smoked bacon in thin slices.
- Fry slices of bacon on both sides in a well-heated pan until golden brown and put on paper napkins to free from excess fat.
- Cut slices of fried bacon into thin strips.
- Boil water in a small bucket and put 2 ripe tomatoes in boiling water.
- 2 minutes after scalding in boiling water, transfer the tomatoes into a bowl with cold water, remove the skin from them and cut into small cubes.
Putting carbonara paste
- Preheat 1-2 tbsp in a brazier l vegetable oil. For an Italian dish, it is better to take olive oil.
- Sauté the mixture of onion and garlic in hot oil.
- When the onions and garlic are slightly fried, put the chicken pieces in the roasting pan and mix.
- When the chicken meat starts to whiten, start the straw from the bacon, cut the mushrooms into pieces, mix and cover for 3-5 minutes.
- To thicken, run into the cooking paste no more than 1.5 tbsp. l wheat flour, if vegetables have secreted a large amount of juice, and continue to fry for a couple more minutes.
- When the mass in the roasting pan thickens well, pour 150 ml of cream into it in small portions, constantly stirring the sauce.
- When the sauce boils again, run 2-3 handfuls (50-70 g) of spinach leaves in a roasting pan.
- When the spinach goes limp, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Immediately after this, start the tomatoes, cut into pieces, and chopped basil leaves.
