Advice
Fit Carbonara with Zucchini Noodles. If you want to make this dish complete, you can add classic spaghetti; in this case, you need to cook the pasta and drain it three-quarters of the way through cooking, add it to the wok at the same time as the zucchini noodles, and complete the cooking as in the recipe, possibly with a little pasta cooking water, then add the egg and Parmigiano mixture.
