Vegetarian Carbonara Recipe
Report
Vegetarian Carbonara is a pasta recipe made with vegetables and a cheese that binds all the ingredients together, such as ricotta. As with traditional spaghetti carbonara, the ingredients are few, but the result is a very tasty main course.Instead of guanciale, a key ingredient in classic carbonara, we use vegetables. We chose onions, zucchini and carrots. But you can use any vegetables you like, such as peppers, peas or mushrooms. If fresh vegetables are in season, even better.

Instructions
- To make vegetarian carbonara, first cut the vegetables into julienne strips.
- Then sauté the onion in oil in a large non-stick frying pan for about two minutes. Add the carrots and zucchini. Stir and cook over medium heat, uncovered, for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir and taste the vegetables occasionally, adding salt if necessary. The vegetables should remain fairly crisp, so be careful when cooking.
- When cooked, turn off heat and set aside.
- While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the cream of eggs and ricotta. In a bowl, add the whole eggs, plenty of ground black pepper, a pinch of fine salt and the ricotta. Mix until creamy. When ready, set aside.
- Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water for the time indicated on the package. In addition to spaghetti, vegetable carbonara is excellent with bucatini or linguini.
- Drain spaghetti al dente and add to vegetables. Place the pan over high heat and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and add ricotta and egg cream Stir quickly to combine the ingredients. PLEASE NOTE: The heat under the frying pan must be OFF or the eggs will overcook and scramble.
- Place the vegetarian carbonara on a plate and sprinkle with ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
