Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the vegetables: half the courgettes lengthways and slice thinly into half moons, finely chop the sweet pepper.
- 2
Start cooking the pasta, but take it off about one minute before it's ready. Drain when it's done, but save a cup full of pasta water.
- 3
Simultaneously, add some vegetable oil to a large pan or pot and set to a high heat. Add the courgettes, paprika and cayenne pepper and fry for about 5-10 mins until they shrink in size and lose most of their moisture. Stir often to make sure they don't burn. Reduce to a medium heat and add the garlic and sweet peppers.
- 4
Mix the egg yolks, parmesan and cream together in a jug.
- 5
When everything's done, take off the heat and pour the drained pasta and egg/cream/cheese mixture into the courgette/pepper/spice pot. Mix thoroughly. If it looks a little dry add some of the retained pasta water. Season with salt/pepper to taste.
- 6
Serve in a bowl with a sprinkling of more parmesan cheese on top if you'd like!

Sweet Potato and Mushroom Carbonara Sweet Potato and Mushroom Carbonara
I love cheese (even the processed kind), so I wanted to make a recipe that highlighted its flavors.The sweetness of the onion is a key in this recipe. Please cook them from start to finish over low-medium heat.To bring out the umami of the ingredients, the only seasoning used is salt.When I tried using cheese with a lower fat content, even though it was meant to be healthier, I felt like adding add a little honey and soy sauce. For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by ayureo cookpad.japan -

Rich and Creamy Carbonara Rich and Creamy Carbonara
Normally, I prefer a light flavored pasta, but I made this when I felt like having Carbonara for the first time in a while This time I used heavy cream for a rich texture.Use residual heat when combining the sauce with the pasta together. This will allow the egg to very slowly cook, but it’ll prevent the egg from scrambling. Recipe by Tomomon1028 cookpad.japan -

Carbonara Carbonara
We had a potluck at work a couple of days ago and someone brought in a dish that they called carbonara. Now, I'm guilty of being an experimenter myself and making carbonara that's not really carbonara, at least traditionally speaking (see mushroom carbonara, recipe posted previously). But the potluck version was way, way, way out there. In fact, another coworker said it tasted like chicken soup. Which is...weird, but also accurate. The pasta was actually good; it just wasn't carbonara. Anyway, this motivated me to make my own version, sticking much more closely to the dish's roots. The one concession made, out of necessity because it's not a readily available ingredient around here, is the substitution of bacon for the traditional guanciale. Bacon's good, but it's not the same. Don't worry, though, because the pasta still turned out creamy and delicious. Robert Gonzal -
