Carbonara pasta with zucchini

**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.

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.

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!

No one says you cannot cook a dish you invented, the problem is naming it a name it is not. people are not angry because adam invented a dish, people are angry because he is saying this dish is carbonara, which is a completely diffrent tasting dish since it has not zucchini and garlic which change completely the flavor profile, and it has not milk, which changes completely the sauce texture.

[@MisterLambda]

groethendieck Words change over time, language is simply the means of how we most effectively communicate an idea, the word carbonara is so unanimous with these types of emulsified egg sauces it’s original meaning has been lost, no one but a few Italians and food connoisseurs will think of the traditional dish upon hearing its name anymore. That’s simply what happens over time as humanity becomes more culturally mixed and the sooner you accept that reality the less painful it will be for you because it’s just going to get worse unfortunately.

[@rapdogg953]

Mister Man what you just said makes no sense. Imagine ordering a cocktail say a cuba libree and when you get it you find that it has fanta instead of coke and vodka instead of rum. And it’s not just a few italians who know the actual recipe for carbonata, tons do. When you have a dish that has just 4 ingredients (not including pasta, water, salt), any change can drastically change the taste.

[@bridgetcooney5085]

For my meatless version, I use sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil. Doesn't taste like bacon obviously, but it adds some nice texture, and the olive oil is super flavorful. 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

[@BruvMoment007]

Just made this with the sun dried tomatoes you suggested instead of meat and it came out delicious! The oil they come with was amazing

[@ismokecrackbecauseheroinis401]

Yeah, because you clearly haven't refined your recipes yet to satisfy the taste requirements people want, you see, taste is subjective, and so is what food you like and food you don't like. I, for example, prefer salty food, also spicy, but if it's just salty it's better. People don't like their dish to be just covered in pepper, that's why it's sometimes being referred as "unappetizingly brown" hope this helps, have a good day

Best part about this is people going: "italians will hate this". Then I go "Nah, they don't care". Then I scroll down and the italians really are super annoyed: "It's not carbonara!". Well, that just convinced me to make it this way forever and call it carbonara just out of spite.

[@chenugent]

This is one of my favourite carbonara recipes I’ve ever seen. The one that “not another cooking show” did was also amazing

[@AnHeC]

It's not carbonara. We seriously need a new name for this... Just like if you take a slab of beef, meance it and make a burger out of it, you can no longer call it a steak. This is a fine recipe, but it has nothing in common with calarbonara.

[@chenugent]

@@AnHeC the term carbonara has lost all meaning at this point, my room mate thought carbonara was simply just a white sauce, some people dont even know it has anything to do with egg. We need a term loike "americanized carbonara". Carbonara has an egg yolk sauce, almost like a custard, so what adam has made here is not far off, minus the cream and the added vedgetables. 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. its the same phenomina you see with indian and chinese cuisine. theres so many dishes you can get from takeaways that literally dont exist in india or china. Vincenzos plate has the best carbonara recipe on the whole of youtube. Genarro contaldos recipe is also top tier

[@DalimilNov]

Adam just went all out on Italians. Milk, garlic, zucchini, rosemary. That didn't leave much space for Carbonara.

[@frafrafrafrafra]

Fun Fact- Carbonara means roughly “in the manner of coal miners,” and the likely origin of the name is a Roman restaurant named Carbonara.

SkippZz you must’ve skipped over one, because I clearly stated that I don’t care what the hell he makes.
