Carrie Bickmore has shocked fans after sharing her very unconventional time-saving food hack.

The 44-year-old radio star posted a clip to social media which captured her preparing spaghetti Bolognese in an unusual manner.

She was seen pouring the boiled pasta directly onto a dinner table, with no plate underneath it, and then added the meat sauce on top. 

She finished it off by sprinkling powdered parmesan cheese over the dish.

Carrie then casually grabbed a fork to dig in, revealing her simple and speedy way of preparing dinner for her and her kids.

Carrie Bickmore has shocked fans after sharing her very unconventional time-saving food hack 

The 44-year-old radio star posted a clip to social media which captured her preparing spaghetti Bolognese in an unusual manner. She was seen pouring the boiled pasta directly onto a dinner table, with no plate underneath it, and then added the meat sauce on top 

‘A new way to do dinner. I was inspired by a random post on insta and thought I’d be a fun mum too and let the kids just eat in a more relaxed manner,’ she wrote in the caption. 

‘They thought it was so weird but loved it. And given I put baking paper underneath, the clean up was easier than washing plates!’

Many of Carrie’s followers slammed the radio star for her ‘offensive’ food presentation.

‘As an Italian, I find this highly offensive and wrong on so many levels!’ one wrote. 

No. Just no,’ another simply said. 

Meanwhile, others thought it was unhygienic.  

‘Fun concept but I don’t want share someone else’s spit,’ wrote one follower, while another added: ‘Nope, don’t want everyone else’s dirty fork in my Bolognese.’

One person was highly offended by her supermarket bought parmesan cheese, writing: ‘That powdered Parma smells like vom. Can’t do it.’

Italian-Australian celebrity chef Silvia Colloca also chimed in with: ‘I can hear my Nonnas and their Nonnas writhing in agony in this new circle of hell designed for Italians!’

‘The souls of our nonnas just entered our bodies and screeched in deep pain and agony!’ added Australian comedy group Sooshi Mango.

However, others were more supportive of Carrie’s work. 

‘I love this,’ wrote Jacqui Felgate, while Australian clothing label Auguste said: ‘So fun.’

Good on you Carrie for having some fun with your kids,’ another fan added. 

Last week, Carrie was welcomed back to The Project in a downpour of confetti. 

The television and radio star, who quit the Channel Ten show back in 2022, returned to her old stomping ground for a good cause. 

The 44-year-old was on the desk for a ten minute segment that closed the show – but only as a guest. 

She was there to celebrate the ten year anniversary of her charity foundation,  Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer, which has raised $24 million for cancer research. 

Carrie announced her departure from The Project after 12 years on air in October, 2022.

The Adelaide-born star is now the host of the Carrie & Tommy show on the Hit Network alongside Little.
