]]> I love spaghetti carbonara! I told you all about my love for it when I shared my Simple Spaghetti Carbonara recipe a while back. That recipe is still one of my all-time favorites. Ron likes it but complains that there isn’t enough meat in it, so today I bring you Simple Slow Cooker Chicken Carbonara with Linguine.

This is a knock off carbonara, as are most American carbonara, because it is made with jarred Alfredo sauce and bacon instead of Pecorino Romano, egg, guanicale (pork jowl), and black pepper.

This slow cooker chicken carbonara with linguine recipe starts by cooking your chicken in the slow cooker following my recipe here. Instead of shredding the chicken after it has cooked for four hours, you chop it up. Then place the chicken pieces back in the slow cooker with the Alfredo sauce, black pepper, and cheese. Cook another 30 minutes on high to let the flavors meld and the cheese melt. During this time you can cook the pasta and the garlic bread and put everything together when it is ready.
