‘Best I ever had!’ The slow cooker carbonara pasta that Australia is going nuts over

We are loving this! - by Eliza Scanlan

Who doesn’t love a good carbonara? 

Well now Aussie slow cooker fans have found a SUPER easy way to whip up the pasta dinner favourite - and we couldn’t love it more!

‘Best I ever had!’ The slow cooker carbonara pasta that Australia is going nuts over

The recipe - which we spotted on the Slow Cooker Recipe & Tips Facebook page - has gone viral, with home chefs all around the country cooking it up right now. 

Why, because it’s so easy - you just dump all the ingredients (including the raw pasta!) in the slow cooker and let it do all the hard work for you! 

Says the Facebook page: ‘I jumped on the Carbonara band wagon today after seeing everyone say how good it is and well now I know why... it’s amazing!! 😍🤤👌🏼 Wish I tried it sooner ha ha. 

‘I was a little worried about cooking the pasta in the slow cooker but I followed the times on the recipe and it turned out perfect and plenty of sauce still 👍🏼.’

Other followers mentioned how they’d also tried the recipe - with amazing results.

‘I made this how amazing is it 😍😍😍,’ said one. Added another: ‘It’s soooo yummy 😋’

Said a third: ‘Easily the best carbonara I’ve ever had!’

See below for the full recipe and instructions - and don’t forget to head to the group’s Facebook page for more!
