HOW TO COOK:

Oven cook - From Chilled. Electric 220°C, Fan 200°C, Gas mark 7 (+5 mins) 25 mins

1. Pre-heat oven. Remove the film but leave the carbonara in its wooden tray.

2. Place on a baking tray in the centre of the oven (away from any element or flame) and cook for 25 mins.

3. Stir thoroughly covering all the spaghetti with the sauce. Leave to stand for 2 mins before serving. Make sure it's piping hot.

I like the carbonara but I have had nicer tasting carbonaras that are cheaper that can be microwaved and probably wouldn't purchase this carbonara again.
