ZUCCHINI CARBONARA FROM JAMIE OLIVER (JAMIE AT HOME ...



Zucchini Carbonara from Jamie Oliver (Jamie at Home ... image

I saw Jamie make this on his show and it looked so good and I happened to have green and yellow squash ready to be used. It took me a little longer to make since I had not made it before but none of the steps are difficult at all. Just a matter of getting myself organized. It turned out delicious and very filling. I will be making this one again. I think next time I will cut back on the oil and drain the bacon a little better. It was yummy rich but I think it would still be great cutting back on some of the oil and fat. I did not have penne so I used bow tie pasta that I had in the pantry.

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 6 plates of pasta, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground pepper
6 medium zucchini
1 lb penne
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 slices pancetta or 12 slices lean bacon, thick slices cut into chunky pieces
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, leaves picked and chopped

Steps:

  • Put a large pan of salted water on to boil.
  • Slice the zucchini at an angle into pieces roughly the same size and shape as the penne.
  • Put the egg yolks into a bowl, add the cream and half the Parmesan, and mix together with a fork. Season lightly with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat a very large frying pan (a 14-inch is a good start), add a good splash of olive oil and fry the pancetta or bacon until dark brown and crisp.
  • Your water will now be boiling, so add the penne to the pan with the salted water and cook according to the package instructions.
  • Add the zucchini slices and 2 big pinches of black pepper to the skillet with the bacon or pancetta, not just to season but to give it a bit of a kick. Sprinkle in the thyme leaves, give everything a stir, so the zucchini is coated with all the lovely bacon-flavored oil, and fry until they start to turn lightly golden and have softened slightly.
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving a little of the cooking water. Immediately, toss the pasta in the pan with the zucchini, bacon and lovely flavors, then remove from the heat and add a ladleful of the reserved cooking water and your creamy sauce. Stir together quickly. (No more cooking now, otherwise you'll scramble the eggs.).
  • While you're tossing the pasta and sauce, sprinkle in the rest of the Parmesan and a little more of the cooking water if needed, to give you a silky and shiny sauce. Taste quickly for seasoning.

ZUCCHINI CARBONARA | MARTHA STEWART



Zucchini Carbonara | Martha Stewart image

Sautéed zucchini is a delicious way to make a rich dish like carbonara a little healthier—this recipe uses two parts vegetable to one part pasta. Another trick: Don't skimp on the extra egg yolk; the addition helps emulsify the sauce, so it reaches optimum creaminess and renders a flawless carbonara copy.

Total Time 35 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, smashed
4 ounces pancetta, cubed
2 large or 3 small zucchini (about 1 pound), julienned (see cook's note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large egg plus 1 large yolk
1 ounce Pecorino Romano, finely grated (1 cup), plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or braiser, heat oil, garlic, and pancetta over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pancetta is just crisp, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini; season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together egg, yolk, cheese, and lemon zest. Season with a pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente (about 1 minute shy of package instructions). Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain.
  • Slowly whisk 2 tablespoons hot pasta water into egg mixture, then transfer pasta and egg mixture to skillet. Cook over medium heat, tossing vigorously and adding more pasta water as needed, 1/4 cup at a time, until sauce is silky and thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in basil; season to taste. Serve, topped with more cheese.

  • 1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, 7 to 8 minutes or according to the package instructions. 2. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the parsnips, onion and a pinch of salt, and saut? the until the onion begins to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan along with the remaining oil, saut?ing until the onion has caramelized and the parsnips are golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. 3. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, egg yolks, Parmesan and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper and then set aside. 4. When the spaghetti is al dente, remove from the heat and drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water. 5. Add the spaghetti to the skillet along with a splash of the cooking water, the sour cream mixture and the zucchini, and quickly but gently toss together. The heat from the spaghetti will delicately cook the yolks just enough to thicken into a smooth and silky sauce without scrambling. You may need to add more of the cooking water to loosen the sauce slightly. Garnish with more Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of parsley, if you like. Note: For an adult upgrade, you can increase the amount of freshly ground black pepper, stir in chopped parsley and serve alongside a hefty amount of salad greens.
