adapting recipes with part cooked egg?

I am hoping to start slimming world on Tuesday. I have a magazine which has a week meal planner in which I was thinking about following.

There are a couple of reciepes with part cooked egg (chicken fried rice and tagliatelle carbonara). They both look nice and something we would all enjoy but warn that pregnant women and babies shouldn't eat them because the eggs are not cooked throughly. I am pregnant and my DD is 13 months. I actually really fancy the carbonara!

Does all carbonara have part cooked eggs in? TBH if I had seen in on a resturant menu I would order it, not knowing there were part cooked eggs in and me and DD probably would have eaten it without knowing.

Anyway, I want to know if there is any way I can still cook it safely for me and DD? I am new to all this cooking from scratch lark so simple terms please!

I would like to order my food online today if possible or tomorrow so would be grateful of some help!

With the chicken fried rice, will it still taste nice if I just leave out the egg? I have no idea!

Thank you in advance you lovely people!

I've never made egg fried rice with part cooked egg. Carbonara is a bit more difficult tho, as the idea is a creamy sauce, not scrambled egg!

If I was making egg fried rice I would spray a wok with frylite, heat until mega hot, stirfry spring onions, remove, scramble egg in wok, add spring onions and cooked rice, and heat through till it was throughly fried. The egg woukd be fully cooked by this time. HTH

Thanks Anita, that does help. At least I know for the rice one anyway!

Does anybody know what age something like carbonara is safe for? Just thinking I hopefully haven't got too long left of the pregnancy issue, so if it was safe for DD then it might be fine after the baby is born?
