To make the delicious pasta dish, India said she simply put all of the ingredients in her slow cooker for several hours.
While many assumed she must have browned the chicken or cooked the pasta first, the cook said in fact she just ‘threw everything in’ and waited 90 minutes.
She said she made a lot, but wouldn’t advise freezing the carbonara after cooking, due to the inclusion of cream.
This isn’t the first pasta dish to have captured the attention of the internet (pictured: a previous carbonara dish)
Those who saw the budget recipe on Facebook were hugely impressed.
‘Oh my goodness, this looks delicious,’ one woman wrote.
‘This looks amazing. My husband would die for this,’ another added.
