I’ve been wanting to try a zucchini spaghetti recipe for a long time and for this first experience, I chose a Carbonara Zoodle recipe, in my own way of course!
I’m talking about zucchini spaghetti but we could rather talk about zucchini tagliatelle because they are more coarsely grated, otherwise it becomes mush.
Well, I added some pasta to give a little more consistency to the dish but if you want, you don’t have to add more and you can add a second zucchini.
Why not try with a yellow zucchini, it will be visually nice with this duo of colors…
I had already tried raw or barely cooked zucchini in my zucchini tartare and I particularly enjoyed it. This is why I tried the experiment again by cooking the zucchini very little.
It remains slightly crunchy and retains its aromas better. You might as well enjoy good seasonal vegetables, don’t you think!?
In any case, it’s a really nice dish, complete, tasty and really quick to prepare. Nothing insurmountable…
In addition, you can make it for 2, as in the recipe, or for a larger number of people, without it being complicated.
