Zucchini carbonara

Zucchini carbonara

Ingredients

* 200g fine egg tagliatelle or penne
* 2 zucchini
* 3 fresh egg yolks
* 3 tbsp parmesan, grated
* 1 tbsp lemon zest, grated
* 1/2 tsp sea salt
* Black pepper, coarsely ground
* 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley

Method

Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling, salted water until almost cooked, probably about 6 minutes. Trim the zucchini and cut lengthwise into thick slices, then into small dice.

Add the zucchini to the pasta water for the final 2 mins of cooking time.

Beat the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl. Beat in the cheese, lemon zest and sea salt until creamy.

Drain the pasta and zucchini and immediately add to the egg mixture, tossing quickly until well-coated.
To serve

Season with pepper and serve on two warmed dinner plates or pasta bowls.

Scatter with parsley leaves.
