  Very easy and very quick for a mid week supper. Didn't bother with the egg - just used creme fraiche and topped with toasted pine nuts and parmesan.

  This was super easy and delicious! Whipped it up while having a few beers on a Friday evening and it went down a treat with a simple side salad. The zucchini made the traditional recipe more interesting, but I doubled the egg yolk and halved the cream to keep it closer to the original. Loved it, will make it again.

  Love this recipe. I used smoked bacon instead of the pancetta and added an extra egg yolk and it turned out very nicely.

  My partner made this for me as I was going to be home late. It was quick, easy and absolutely delicious. This time we used ordinary bacon-next time we will use pancettaand add a few mushrooms and a little onion. It's staying on the menu list for sure.

  Didn't add the egg (forgot!) and used smoked streaky bacon in place of pancetta. A surprisngly very tasty dish giving an alternative way to serve the glut of courgettes from the garden.

  Huge family favourite especially when we had a bumper crop of courgettes.I omit the bacon for veg bacon for the vegetarians in my family and we all enjoy the meal together.

  Lovely but not amazing to rate as a 5. Felt it needed more flavours- perhaps chives?

  Fantastic combination of flavors. Made it without the egg, though, and used creme fraiche instead of single cream.

  So lovely... I added a bit of garlic to corgettes and low fat thick greek yogurt instead of cream - but kept the rest of the basics

  Grated courgette - what a great idea and twist to a Carbonara! I think the ones I used were two large but they did wilt down a bit. I also doubled the pancetta, parmasan and pasta (penne), added a few left over mushrooms and used double cream (as that was what was in the fridge) and it was immense. A new favorite in our house but might try it with Crème fraîche next time to lower the calories I used on this occasion.

  This dish is absolutely fantastic and easy to cook. I always add chicken thigh and smoked lardons to boost the flavours. It doesn't heat up the next day so well as the eggs go a bit weird....but it never puts me off.
