My carbonara recipe only has 5 ingredients, so it’s the timing and technique that are important to learn. This recipe is included in my next cookbook, Padma’s All American, but here is a little preview of the carbonara process. Something to note - this carbonara might be different than what you’re used to, but I spent 6 years in Italy and that is where I developed it over time. Pre-order my book!!

This one’s for everyone out there with too many zucchinis accumulating in their fridge! I developed this recipe after finding myself in that exact predicament—and I love it so much, it made it into Padma’s All American. If you haven’t tried making a dish with raw zucchini before, this is a great place to start. 🥒 Pre-order at the link in bio! | Padma Lakshmi
