A restaurant recipe for spaghetti carbonara, purportedly similar to an Olive Garden recipe.
Ingredients:

1 pound spaghetti, cooked and drained
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh parsley
freshly ground black pepper
salt to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk

Preparation:
Heat the reserved chicken drippings or the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; add the mushrooms and green onions. Sauté until they tender. Add the diced cooked chicken, blend well, and turn off the heat. Add the warm spaghetti and blend all ingredients together thoroughly. Add the warm sauce (below), pepper, parsley and salt and blend thoroughly. Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.

Sauce:
In a heavy saucepan, melt butter; add flour and cook on medium-low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add milk continue cooking and stirring just until sauce begins to bubble. Remove from heat and keep warm.Serves 4.
