This was a really simple recipe I found in a weight watchers cookbook. They didn't call it carbonara, but it pretty much is. I added shrimp to mine, but you could add chicken, or have it as a side to anything. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture.
1/2 lbs pasta
1 garlic glove
1/4 cup white wine
3/4 cup chicken stock
2 large eggs
2 tbs fresh grated parmesan cheese
1 tbs oliv oil
Cook pasta, drain, and set aside. Heat olive oil and garlic glove in the pasta pot. Once starting to brown add wine and let boil just a few seconds. Add chicken stock and let boil about 1 minute. Meanwhile, whish two eggs until well combined. Mix with cheese, pinch of salt and pepper. Quickly Whisk eggs while adding 1/2 cup of liquid from the pan. This is called tempering the eggs, as not to have scrambles eggs with your pasta.
Add pasta to the pot, then pour in egg mixture. Remove from heat and fold together until thick sauce forms and sticks to pasta.

If you want to add a protein, Brown the chicken or shrimp while cooking the pasta and add to the sauce at the same time.
