For an even richer flavor, use guanciale instead of pancetta. If the sauce seems too thick, add a tablespoon of pasta water (or in this case, a tablespoon of water) to thin it out. Be careful not to overcook the zoodles, as they will become watery. They should still have a slight bite to them. For a vegetarian option, omit the pancetta and add sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.

01 Step
Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolk until light and frothy. Add the Pecorino Romano cheese and mix well until a smooth paste forms. Set aside. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the cubed pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy. (5-7 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Add the zucchini noodles (zoodles) to the skillet with the pancetta. Cook and stir gently until the zoodles are just warmed through and still slightly firm, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will release too much moisture. (3-5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Remove the skillet from the heat. Immediately pour the egg and cheese mixture over the zoodles and pancetta. Toss quickly and continuously until the zoodles are evenly coated in a creamy sauce. The residual heat from the zoodles will gently cook the eggs, creating a luscious carbonara sauce.
05 Step
Recipe View Serve immediately. Top with additional grated Pecorino Romano cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
