Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini (or 1 pound fresh zucchini noodles)
- 8 pieces thick-cut bacon, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1/4 cup chopped basil
Instructions
- Make the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer (if not using pre-made noodles).
- Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until just barely crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Return the pan to the stove over medium-low heat and throw in the garlic and onions. Cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Mix together the eggs, yolks, Parmesan and cream in a bowl until smooth.
- Pour in the egg mixture into the skillet with the onions and garlic, carefully stirring the whole time. Season with salt and pepper. Add the peas and bacon, stirring until it’s all combined and the mixture is warmed through. Add the zucchini noodles and carefully stir so the noodles don’t fall apart.
- Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and basil.

Reviews
Adding heavy cream, peas, and basil. This mess is definitely NOT Carbonara. I would try it with zoodles, with traditional Carbonara sauce.
Bragged about this recipe to all my friends! Will be putting this down as one of my summer favorites!
This was really yummy!!! I like things “saucy” and this worked out perfectly; I used 1 c of fat free half and half. Hubby added crushed red pepper to his to make it a bit spicy. This recipe is now in our rotation! Thanks!
I loved this easy recipe! My picky husband loved it too! Thanks
Great keto recipe! I did omit the peas and added mushrooms with the garlic and onion! It was simply Devine! Thanks Ree! Another great dish! ❤️
Added Mushrooms to the mix… Also steamed the Zucchini added in veggies to the party then transferred to a mixing bowl and stirred in the egg, heavy cream and cheese mix… The heat from the Zucchini mix is enough to solidify the sauce mixture… Turned out great….
This was fantastic!! Wouldn’t change a thing!!!
DELICIOUS. My husband ate zucchini, that’s an accomplishment.
It was easy and a very good way to prepare zucchini.
Mine came out like scrambled eggs. Not creamy at all! Very disappointed, I love carbonara. Had fun with the spiralizer.
