Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Cook the penne according to the package instructions.
Step 2
Cut the zucchini into strips similar to the shape of penne.
Step 3
For the carbonara sauce, whisk the egg yolks, cream, and half of the parmesan in a bowl, season lightly.
Step 4
Heat the largest skillet, generously drizzle with oil, and fry the pancetta until crispy and dark brown, add the zucchini and black pepper, sprinkle with thyme leaves, stir and sauté the zucchini until tender and lightly golden.
Step 5
Immediately add the hot freshly cooked pasta, stir, and remove from heat.
Step 6
Add a bit of water and the creamy sauce, quickly mix. Do not place back on heat, or the yolks will scramble.

Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan, adding more water if necessary.
