Duo of zucchini spaghetti carbonara
Servings 4 personnes
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini
- 300 g spaghetti
- 4 egg yolks
- 100 g Parmesan cheese
- 200 g bacon or pancetta
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti (the pasta!) in a small amount of salted water.
- Meanwhile, spiralize your zucchinis into spaghetti (see our article on how to make zucchini spaghetti).
- In a pan, cook the bacon over low heat at first (no need to add extra fat), then increase the heat to crisp them up a bit.
- Prepare the carbonara sauce: whisk together the egg yolks and Parmesan.
- Ladle out some of the pasta cooking water and gradually whisk it into the sauce. The hot water will melt the Parmesan and create a creamy texture.
- Two minutes before the pasta is done, add the zucchini spaghetti to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
- Drain the spaghetti mixture and transfer it to a serving dish.
- Pour the carbonara sauce over the spaghetti, add the bacon, and mix well. For an extra touch of flavor, drizzle with a bit of olive oil before serving. Enjoy!
