Green Chile, Chicken and Bacon Carbonara with a creamy chicken pasta carbonara sauce. This Green Chile Carbonara comes from our collection of Hatch Green Chile Recipes.
Valentine’s Day has always been special to me. I love the basic idea of just telling your loved ones that they hold a special place in your heart. You don’t need big bouquets, large boxes of candy or stuffed animals to accomplish this. A sweet little hand-drawn valentine or a special home-cooked dish always works for us. We don’t like to go out on Valentine’s Day, it’s always more special for us to enjoy an intimate dinner at home. And one of our favorites is this Green chile Carbonara.
