This is the best ever syn free spaghetti carbonara – seriously!!
I wanted to put together a syn free spaghetti carbonara recipe (one of my fav pasta dishes ever) that was still really yummy but also syn free on Slimming World and oh boy! did I achieve that. It is delicious.
If anyone is disappointed after making this, I will seriously eat my words lol
When coming up with this recipe, I didn’t want to use quark or anything like that, as I hate the tangy taste it gives to pasta and the little stock trick I use for sauteing veggies without the need for oil, works wonders in this, as it also adds to the flavour.
The traditional Carbonara recipes do not have mushrooms added, but if you want to add some speed foods to this, then they compliment it really nicely.
Otherwise I serve with a nice mixed salad.

Oh Shev, Matt just made this for our dinner tonight and it is AMAZING!!!! I would never have known it had no cream in it, it was so delicious!
Well done 😉
glad you enjoyed it :). It is really yummy isnt it? I haven’t had it for a while, but I fancy it now lol. I still cant get my head around the lovely foods you can eat on slimming world and still lose weight.
I made this for the first time about 2 weeks ago for my hubby who recently started following SW with me, he’s had it 3 times since then and loves it!! thanks a lot.
Yes! This totally makes sense, a genuine carbonara does not contain any cream anyway. You are a genius.
Well that is supper sorted. TA!
made this last night for me and my OH, and it was sooooo yummy. thanks. xx
Just HAD to tell You that I have recently “stumbled” upon this Site and tried this Carbonara tonight as a 1st attempt ………
WOW!!!!!!!
I cant believe that this is “Diet” Food!! The Carbonara was soooooo Delicious and My 7yr Old asked Can we have it again 2moro!!
I made a “slight” substitute in that I used my B Choice of Pre cooked, shredded Chicken instead of the Bacon and Ham.
Thankyou so much for a Wonderful Site……Now, what shall I have tomorrow!! xx
thank you for the comment. I am glad you enjoyed it, is one of my favourite meals is this household too 🙂
Just eaten this about 10 mins ago, it was delish! the whole family loved it, even my fussy little girl! Thank you very much. this will be going in my “keep” folder
Your website is fantastic. You have given me so much inspiration. The whole family are really benefiting from the lovely homecooked healthy food Im doing.
OMG!! This is sooooo scrummy!! I don’t eat cheese so the whole thing is free! I added chicken to the bacon and finished 2 big bowls. Your recipes are such an inspiration. I spent 2hrs last night going through all of them and have 10 to try out so far over next few weeks. Thanks so much!
Joanne 🙂 xxx
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
My main down falls in food is curries and pasta, since I found the slimming book curry heaven and now this recipe I don’t feel the need to have a take out Thank you.
the best part is the whole family are enjoying these recipes aswell so it makes dieting so much fun, I am never bored of my food now there are soooooooooo many gorgeous foods to try
Great recipe. Just made this for me and my 3 children and we all loved it.
Is this freezable or is it possible to leave any left overs in the fridge for later in the day?
I am not sure it would keep well, because of the egg added to it and would most likely be best eaten fresh once made.
it says its 2 hexa’s on extra easy but we are only aloud one hexa on extra easy??
it is 2 HEa’s for the entire recipe. The recipe serves 2, so 1 HEa per person.
Have made this today and WOW! You wouldn’t know it was syn free it was absolutely gorgeous and will be recommending it to everyone. Excellent 🙂
Just tried this recipe this evening, I have to say I was sceptical but it was absolutely delicious and so filling! Will definitely be adding this to my weekly menu! Thank you!
Had this for lunch today was yummy had it with salad halved the measurements for one person delicious ty for sharing the recipe x
Made this for dinner tonight, we had it with asparagus, was delicious
I’m not a massive carbonara fan usually but this is seriously tasty! Will definitely be a staple in our house from now on, thumbs up from the hubby too! Thankyou x
Bloody lush! This will now become a weekly staple in our house!
Would you freeze this??
X
Hi Kelly, pasta is always best eaten once cooked, as it can become slightly soft when reheated. I am okay with slightly overcooked pasta, so do freeze pasta dishes, however as this one using a sauce which is made with eggs etc, I don’t recommend freezing. Hope that helps.
This was divine. I did swap pecorino for parmesan but that’s just a personal preference. Hubby loved it too which is always a plus. A great use of hexa. Will definitely be making a regular appearance in this house.
So for this are you using 1 full egg and an a extra egg yoke as well
Hi Teresa, yes that is correct 🙂
This was the absolute best carbonara recipe I’ve had, thank you Siobhan I’ll be making this a regular in my house x
I rarely leave comments but i just had to give you props !! I had made carbonara once since i started slimming world and i had used quark, it was horrible so i almost wrote carbonara off !! Well, thanks to you, carbonara is now back with a vengeance !! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, it is absolutely delicious.
All the best.
thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comment. I am so glad you enjoyed my carbonara recipe. There really is no need to add quark to carbonara as it can easily be made syn free.
Absolutely adore this receipe, thank you.
This is the godfather of slimming world recipes. I tried this for the first time tonight and it is by far the best recipe I’ve ever made… not just slimming world friendly but ANY recipe. Better than the full fat version. Absolutely amazing.
Just made this and omg it was gorgeous! So easy to make and my boyfriend loved it! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe
Made the carbonara for me and hubby tonight, I can definitely say it’s the best I’ve tasted by far, even hubby loved it and he’s not a big pasta fan, will definitely be making this again
We love this dish! However, do you need as much (or any) stock if you are leaving out the mushrooms?
Can you just had chedder cheese instead of parmesan.
you could, but carbonara will never use cheddar, for that authentic taste a hard cheese like parmesan or pecorino is best.
Such a tasty recipe, can’t believe it’s syn free!
Just had this for dinner tonight it was amazing thank you.
Hi, I’m looking at making this tonight, just had a question about the stock? Is the stock meant to all evaporate by the time you add the pasta in? Sorry I just got confused! Can’t wait to try this though!
yes pretty much, the stock is used to cook, flavour the onions and mushrooms in place of butter or oil as in step 6. It will evaporate down really quick, just ensure you don’t turn the heat too low, otherwise the mushrooms and onoon will just sit in stock.
Fabulous carbonara recipe, can’t believe its syn free, really tastes amazing!
Oh my days. This really is sooooooooo good!
I’d like to try this recipe but need to make it for 1 person. Could. I just add the one egg yolk?
yes that should work, just half all the ingredients and use 1 egg yolk.
