Chicken and Cream Carbonara
Description
You can use any pasta for this recipe; I'm using penne. If you don't have fresh thyme, under no circumstances should you use dried thyme. In that case, dried basil or oregano will work instead. It's best to use cream with about 22% fat content. Now let's prepare chicken carbonara with cream at home.
