Delicious & easy freezer meal!
I prepared this recipe and put it in my freezer. When I was ready to make it, I thawed the zip-lock bag, and it only took me 15 minutes to make this delicious meal! I will be making it again!

Gonna add to regular routine
This is excellent. I added chopped real bacon on the top of each serving. I've never had Chicken Carbonara without bacon before, so it was a great addition!
