You haven’t truly tasted carbonara sauce until you’ve made it the authentic Italian way, Chef! Melted butter is mixed with rich egg yolk & Italian-style cheese to form a creamy, decadent carbonara sauce. This coats al dente strands of tagliatelle pasta, and golden chicken fillets, spiced with NOMU Italian Rub. The dish is crowned with blistered balsamic baby tomatoes and garnished with peppery fresh basil.

TASTY TAGLIATELLE
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
FOR THE CRUNCH FACTOR
Place the Hazelnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
NOMU-SPICED Chicken
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Baste with a knob of butter and the NOMU rub. Season, remove from the pan, and roughly chop.
BALSAMIC BABY TOMATOES
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil, if necessary. When hot, char the baby tomatoes until blistered, 3-4 minutes. In the final minute, baste with the balsamic reduction and seasoning. Remove from the pan and set aside.
AUTHENTIC CARBONARA SAUCE
Heat the Butter in the microwave or in a pot over the stove until completely melted. Set aside. In a bowl, add 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 egg yolk/s. Whisking the yolk constantly, drizzle in the melted butter very slowly. Once fully incorporated, add ⅓ of the cheese. Mix until combined. Add the pasta, and the Chicken. Toss until coated in the sauce. Loosen with the reserved pasta water, if necessary.
