Zucchini Carbonara for Two(Vegetarian) image

I just got a new cookbook, Good Cooking by Jill Dupleix! Some simple but wonderful recipes(and the pictures are fabulous!). This is the same principal as for pasta carbonara, but with zucchini instead of bacon and is beautiful with a creamy golden sauce! Enjoy!

Categories     Penne

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 ounces penne or 7 ounces fine tagliatelle pasta noodles
sea salt (I use flaked smoked sea salt)
black pepper, coarsely ground
2 medium zucchini (about 8 oz.)
3 egg yolks
2 1/2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated plus extra for garnish
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in lots of boiling salted water for 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim zucchini, cut lengthwise into thick slices, then into strips, and then dice in small pieces.
  • Add the zucchini to the pasta pot and cook until they are tender, but not overly soft, and the pasta is al dente-tender but firm to the bite, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Now in a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt and pepper together.
  • Drain the pasta and zucchini, reserving a couple spoonfuls of the cooking water. Immediately add to the egg mixture, tossing quickly until the pasta is coated well. Add the reserved hot pasta water if it's too dry, and toss again until it's lightly creamy.
  • Sprinkle with extra black pepper and Parmesan cheese. Serve in warm shallow bowls. Enjoy!

Overall, I thought the zucchini carbonara was a good recipe. It was easy to make and tasted pretty good. I would definitely make it again, but I might make a few changes to the recipe to suit my own taste.

I found the zucchini carbonara to be a bit too rich. It was good, but I think I would prefer a lighter version next time.

The zucchini carbonara was a bit too salty for me. I think it would be better with less salt.

The zucchini carbonara was too oily for my liking. I think it would be better with less olive oil.

The zucchini carbonara was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

The zucchini carbonara was easy to make and tasted amazing. My boyfriend, who is not a big fan of vegetables, loved it!

Not a fan of zucchini but this recipe changed my mind. Zucchini carbonara was creamy, flavorful, and the zucchini noodles were a great substitute for pasta.
