"Traditional carbonara uses a spaghetti pasta, eggs, Romano cheese, black pepper, and guanciale (pig’s cheek). This recipe departs from tradition and uses diced zucchini, parmesan cheese, and Barilla Protein+ Pasta.
A trick to help when cooking carbonara is to ensure all of your recipe preparation is completed before hand, and your ingredients are accessible as the cooking process happens very quickly for this dish."
