Carbonara is the perfect comfort meal, and always tastes amazing whether you're eating it curled up on the couch or on a sunny cobbled street in Italy. Originating from the Lazio region of Italy, it's one of the most famous pasta dishes around. The creamy savoury sauce paired with the salty guanciale or pancetta makes it so delicious. However, if you're not a meat-eater or simply fancy trying something a bit different, then there's one recipe that should be on your radar. Chef Francesco Mattana says you can make a light and delicate carbonara by ditching the bacon altogether in favour of one vegetable. Taking to TikTok, the chef urged people to try making a vegetarian carbonara at home, using courgette cubes instead of meat. The vibrant green veg is in season right now, so it will be even more delicious, and a pack of two from Asda will only cost you 74p. |
