The 'We're The Millers' star has revealed she has a "new favourite go-to-town food" because of her husband's cookery skills and his "irresistible" carbonara.

She said: "Pasta has taken over as my new favourite go-to-town food. Yes, he has brought the pasta back into my life. I don't know whether I should thank him or hate him for that.

"I do thank him [because it is] irresistible ... I've learned how to make it and it's not that bad for you! It's just an egg, parmesan cheese, and a little pasta water. And we substitute turkey bacon for real bacon, so, you know."

Meanwhile, the 47-year-old actress also revealed her husband has been offering her tips on how to add more protein in her diet.

She added to ELLE magazine: "When I wake up, I have warm lemon water and then I have a shake or avocado and eggs, which is one of my favourites. I sprinkle a little coconut oil on that. Sometimes, I'll have a puffed millet cereal with a banana or I'll do oatmeal with an egg white whipped in at the end.

"Justin, my husband, taught me that little move to get extra protein! Right before [the oatmeal] is finished cooking, you just whip in an egg white and it kind of gives it this fluffy texture that's delicious."
