Apparently, Jennifer Aniston used to order the same thing for lunch every single day\u2014which seems to be a bit of a trend for actors when filming, because Selena Gomez<\/a> does it, too.\r\n\r\nJen's go-to lunch was a Cobb salad variation<\/a> that included turkey bacon and garbanzo beans. Apparently, the salad was so good that both Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow started ordering it as well!\r\n\r\nWhile Monica may have been the chef in Friends<\/em>, it turns out that Rachel secretly had an amazing pasta recipe in her back pocket the whole time.\r\n

What is Jennifer Aniston's favorite pasta recipe?<\/h2>\r\nAccording to People<\/a><\/em>, she makes a version of carbonara that doesn't use any oil, butter or cream. While this may sound different from your typical restaurant dish, it's more in line with a traditional carbonara recipe<\/a>, which doesn't call for any cream. Personally, I love when peas are added to carbonara, but I know that is as divisive as pineapple on pizza or raisins in carrot cake<\/a>, so let's move on.\r\n\r\nJen's recipe is simple and only calls for seven ingredients: spaghetti, turkey bacon, red onion, garlic, egg, milk and Parmesan cheese. She uses low-fat milk, but any milk you use will result in a lighter dish than using cream. You can also add as much or as little cheese as you'd like to really customize it to your taste.\r\n\r\nI think what's really nice about this dish is that you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand. Which is the case for a lot of basic Italian recipes<\/a>, so no matter what life throws at you, you can still have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes!\r\n\r\nRelated:\r\n
