Ingredients

  • 1 large zucchini
  • 60 g Smoked Bacon Cubes
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 oz Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the washed zucchini with a grater or spiralizer to form zucchini ribbons resembling spaghetti. Discard the seeds.
    Slicing zucchini
  • Boil some cups of water in a pot. Toss in the zucchini strips and leave for about a minute. Drain and put aside.
  • Start making the creamy carbonara sauce in a bowl. Mix the egg and egg yolk together. Lightly throw in half of the Parmesan and all of the cream cheese. Stir the ingredients with a fork. Pep up with salt and pepper. Stir continuously then reserve for later.
  • Crispy fry the bacon on hot olive oil over medium-high heat until it turns dark brown.
  • Mix the bacon with the minced garlic for half a minute. Remember to crisp the bacon first before throwing the garlic in so that it will not be burnt.
  • Plop the zucchini spaghetti in with considerate care. Combine with the bacon and stir for 2 minutes. Do not overcook the zucchini since it will become too soft. Strain any unnecessary liquids if you dislike watery carbonara.
    Stir zucchini with smoke bacon
  • Coat with the sauce and mix hastily. Turn off the heat.
  • Best eaten hot with chopped cilantro and more Parmesan on top.
