Low fat chicken carbonara

Cook the penne according to packet instructions and place to the side

Heat a large non stick pan over a high heat and add the chicken, bacon and garlic and stir fry until the chicken is cooked through. Discard the garlic and put the chicken and bacon to one side

Spray the pan with low cal cooking spray and add the shallots and mushrooms, cook until softened

Place the eggs in a bowl, season and whisk well

Add the cooked pasta and chicken and bacon to the onions and shallots then remove from the heat and stir in the eggs. Toss thoroughly so the eggs thicken in the residual heat making a sauce that coats the pasta

Heap mixture onto bowls, scatter the chives and low fat cheese on top and serve with a side salad
