Olive Garden Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara Recipe

The creamy Parmesan sauce envelops tender chicken, succulent shrimp, and smoky bacon, all tossed with your favorite pasta.
A key trick is to use just the right amount of roasted red peppers to add a pop of color and subtle sweetness.
Don’t rush the sauce — letting it thicken slowly lets the flavors meld beautifully.
