This carbonara is rich and creamy and the courgette gives a more delicate and light flavour compared to the guanciale. This makes this recipe perfect for anyone who is looking for a delicious vegetarian first course and is a great summer version of a Carbonara.
It's super easy to make and you only need 5 main ingredients - eggs, pecorino, black pepper, pasta and courgette. To get the perfect creamy consistency and not end up with scrambled eggs, make sure you turn the heat off before adding the egg mix and stir vigorously straight away. The eggs will cook with the residual heat from the pan and the warm pasta.
