    **RECIPE, SERVES TWO**
    2 egg yolks
    1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
    1 oz (30 g) grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
    1 large zucchini (or two small ones)
    4-6 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
    6 oz (170 g) bacon, cut into large chunks
    6 oz (170 g) dried pasta
    some fresh, chopped herbs (I like rosemary and sage)
    salt
    pepper
    Combine the egg yolks, milk and grated cheese, and grind in an unholy amount of pepper. Stir until smooth.
    Cut the zucchini into quarters, then shave the seedy core out of each quarter before cutting them further into bite-size pieces. I recommend doing this and getting your garlic and herbs chopped before you start cooking.
    Put a pot of salted water on high heat. Put the bacon pieces into a cold, wide pan, and then turn the heat on medium. Stir occasionally to slowly render some fat out of the bacon and to let it go brown and crisp.
    When the water boils, put in the pasta, and cook it for a minute or two less than what the package recommends. If the bacon ever seems like it's going to burn before the pasta is done, just take it off the heat.
    When you're one minute from draining the pasta, stir in the zucchini. When you're about to drain, stir in the garlic and turn off the heat. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. (I do this by putting a glass in the sink to catch some of the water.)
    Stir the pasta into the pan and let it fry for a moment. Deglaze the pan with pasta water, and remove it from the heat. When the bubbling has stopped, put in your egg mixture, stirring constantly.
    Return the pan to the heat and stir until you just see the sauce thicken, then remove again. If the sauce seems too thick, stir in more pasta water - remember the sauce will thicken as it cools. Stir in the herbs, then eat.

    I'm appalled by the disregard for tradition and blatant misrepresentation of my culture in this video.
    It's not a cereal if it's not made from grains. Without grains, it's an entirely different dish. The name "breakfast cereal" comes from the fact that it's made from processed cereal grains. The word 'cereal' is even derived from the word 'Ceres', the Roman God of harvest and agriculture. Sugary cereal is an important American tradition that is very dear to me and my family. Please be more respectful in the future. The pasta looks amazing btw!

      You’d think it’d be fine, with how prevalent garlic is in Italian dishes. But no. It’s sacrilege. But there’s a reason. Because most don’t get it quite right and mess it up. Then it tastes bland. You get the real stuff and you’ll notice a difference.
      Someone explained it to me.
      A store bought loaf of bread and packaged butter vs an artisanal loaf of bread fresh out the oven with fresh churned butter. On paper, the same general idea. In practice, miles different.
      There’s a reason it’s called the culinary arts.

    Just a quick observation, as a professional chef I’ve always cut my veggies in manageable pieces before I do any fine knife work. Instead of cutting the entire zucchini length wise in half, I cut the zucchini into two whole pieces first, then I proceed to cut those two logs length wise in half. I do that because you can control the zucchini and manipulate it with one hand much easier while your dominant hand cuts it into whatever pieces or slices you’re looking for. For me I find safer especially when teaching people who don’t have the same level of knife skills. There are so many different ways of going about things in the kitchen. Again you do what works for you and what’s most comfortable for you. Love the videos and I’m always excited when watching your content! Take care!

I have also used feta instead not part before (one of those, I don't want to go to the store, and need to empty out my fridge dinners). My only suggestion there, is to pop the feta and the yolks into the blender for a sec. I used the smoothie blender cups since they're small. Worked surprisingly well, very tasty

The fact he can make the sauce without the egg curdling shoes he could actually make an authentic carbonara, so ill give him that. At this point as long as they are actually using egg im happy.

    You can temper the egg mix by slowly stirring in pasta water before it's added into the pasta, as I'm cooking the pasta, and it's getting close to finished, I start spooning in small amounts of the pasta water and mixing it into my egg and cheese mix.
    Works great for me, I usually end up mixing half my pasta water in at this stage, and half in later while cooking.

    Firstly, I hate when people get so precious about recipes. I'm Italian (although don't live there) and have worked as a chef my whole life, why would you ever get angry about someone making a dish differently to suit their needs or flavour preferences? Garlic in cabornara isn't traditional but it's delicious so do it if you want. Also I found a really good way of cooking carbonara without any chance of over cooking the egg is to do it over a bain-marie. It goes against the 1 pan magic that Adam is so good with but if you end up ruining a whole pan of pasta by over cooking the egg it might be worth it.

      Not exactly, a lot of actual italian chefs use short pasta like mezze maniche. I actually prefer short pasta for carbonara, y think stabbing with the fork gives me more control of the amount of meat/pasta in every bite

      @@MrMarki134 yeah. Im commenting this because ive never use any kind of pasta other than noodles in carbonara.(this is because i have eaten it only once in my life no joke)

    italians might be the most angry, picky food people on the planet. I’m japanese american and don’t get angry about americanized food hell some of it’s delicious it’s just different to appease American pallets and it STILL TASTES GOOD.

    I really like my carbonara with olive oil, I still use bacon but pour off the greese from the pan. I also use onion as my veggie of choice and sometimes put some chopped spinach in at the end.

    I tried this exact recipe today - it was incredibly tasty and somehow I didn't fuck up the egg mixing part. Though my only issue was that the grated cheese didn't mix as well as yours with the egg yolk. It went kinda lumpy but my grater only really grates large, medium or those little spiky holes that you can never ever get the cheese from between the spikes (I used medium so it was quite course)! The courgette is a great addition though - adds a bit of color, texture and veg to the meal.
    Thanks Adam!

      my grated parmesan just floated for some reason in the egg mixture, but when I dumped it in with the pasta and kept mixing it for a good while it all came together nicely.

    Came here expecting to be mad because this recipe contains zucchini, ended up being happy because Adam is helping to bust the bitter garlic sprout nonsense!
