Completely serious when I say this was done in 8 minutes. Yes, I timed it. And no Spiralizers needed, made with a humble little kitchen gadget that you definitely have in your kitchen drawer.
How does one make Zucchini ribbons without a Spiralizer? Like this: Slice your Zucchini lengthways in half, then using a vegetable peeler, peel along the length of your zucchini until reaching the core. Flip and repeat on the other side. Done…
A humble little peeler makes the most perfect pasta-substituted-zucchini. And sparing the calories and carbs on these ribbons means more creamy pasta, more parmesan cheese…
…more crispy bacon (or pancetta), and no unzipping your pants with a stomach full of pasta ripping through your jeans.
To make a classic creamy Carbonara, I used two eggs and added a little cream. Now, it’s argued by top chefs that Carbonara doesn’t include cream, while others say a couple tablespoons is required. Due to this particular winner of a dinner not containing any pasta or any of the reserved boiled pasta water, I used cream. Don’t hate.
Add in the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano and freshly grated Pecorino….
….whisk until creamy…
…and add to your pan.
