Got zucchini? Make summer carbonara with lemony bread crumbs
Gretchen McKay’s recipe uses zucchini, eggs and Parmesan for a vegetarian pasta that cooks in less than 30 minutes, she said.
- Zucchini carbonara offers a quick, vegetarian riff on the classic pasta dish, coming together in less than a half hour for a summery meal.
- Traditionally prepared with bacon or guanciale, this meatless version highlights seasonal zucchini, which serves as a welcome gift when fresh produce is abundant.
- The recipe requires 1 pound of rigatoni and fresh zucchini, along with 1 ounce of Pecorino Romano and 1 ounce of Parmigiano-Reggiano for authentic flavor.
- To prepare the sauce, whisk the egg base separately with cheese and lemon zest, then stir vigorously off the heat to create a creamy coating without scrambling.
- For meat lovers, adding crispy, cooked bacon provides a porky finish, while reserving starchy pasta water ensures the sauce reaches perfect, clinging consistency.
