Vegetarian carbonara: the game changer sauce.
This vegetarian carbonara recipe is one of these pasta recipes you can definitely enjoy during weight loss. Usually carbonara sauce contains cream and that it makes it very high in calories and in fat. This recipe is a game changer – it does not contain any cream and to make carbonara sauce you need pasta water, eggs and parmesan. The sauce is incredibly creamy and tasty – enjoy delicious pasta without overloading it with unhealthy cream.
As I am vegetarian and I really love carbonara I added vegan bacon to it. It is important to use a vegan or vegetarian bacon that has smoky bacon flavor – you dry it in a little bit of oil and garlic and you cannot really distinguish if you have a real or vegan bacon inside. Also, do not forget to take a garlic clove out of the bacon after frying – garlic adds a little bit of flavor and should not be added to a pasta.
It is essential to take spaghetti from the heat (as described in the recipe below) and wait till the pan stops drizzling and only then add egg-parmesan mixture. This is the right moment, because the egg should not be added to a pan on heat – if you do it you will get an omelet with spaghetti and not a carbonara sauce.
How to prepare vegetarian carbonara
Ingredients
- 170 g of spaghetti
- 125 g of vegan bacon
- 2 eggs
- 20 g of grated parmesan
- 1 clove of garlic
- 10 g of oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in a large amount of water until al dente (do not overcook!!!).
- Cut one clove of garlic in half and fry it over medium heat with 125 g of vegan bacon.
- When the bacon is fried, remove the garlic, add the cooked spaghetti and a small amount of the pasta water in which the spaghetti was cooked. I added 120 g. Mix well, add salt and black pepper (it is delicious if it is freshly ground black pepper). Remove from the heat.
Prepare the sauce
- Stir 2 eggs with a fork and add 20 g of grated parmesan.
- When the pan stops sizzling (and do not forget to remove from heat before!), add egg-parmesan sauce and mix quickly (do not put on fire!).
- Sprinkle the parmesan on top and serve.
