Spaghetti Carbonara with Zucchini
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place the bacon in a pan over high heat (without oil) and let it brown.
- 2
Remove the bacon and add the chopped onion to the same pan. No need to add oil, it will cook in the bacon fat.
- 3
When the onion starts to become translucent, add the diced zucchini. Season with salt and pepper and let it cook well.
- 4
Once cooked, add the bacon back in and keep it on low heat.
- 5
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in another pot.
- 6
Beat the egg in a bowl and add the grated cheese and pepper.
- 7
When the spaghetti is ready, add it to the pan with the zucchini and turn off the heat.
- 8
Finally, pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti and mix well. You can also add a tablespoon of the pasta cooking water. It's important that the pan is off the heat so the egg doesn't scramble. Serve and enjoy.

Traditional Cream Free Carbonara Traditional Cream Free Carbonara
The popular carbonara is cooked with tons of butter, heavy cream and fat bacon, makes it super greasy and sticky. But do you know that the traditional Italian carbonara is cream free? It's much healthier but also rich in taste.

Here’s a lighter version of zucchini carbonara without guanciale. It keeps the creamy texture of the traditional recipe but is more delicate.

This is a great alternative to traditional carbonara with spaghetti noodles! I also added spinach, onions, julienne carrots, julienne broccoli stalk, and mushrooms to mine. Feel free to make it your own and add whatever veggies you desire. La.Burra -

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara Spaghetti Alla Carbonara
I've always liked carbonara, and I was a bit surprised to learn later on that the original Italian recipe uses no cream but only eggs. Normally the recipe uses guanciale or pancetta but finding either in this time of quarantine has proved impossible so I just used plain old bacon. This also includes my canonical method for cooking bacon. 🇮🇹🍝
