How to Make VEGETARIAN CARBONARA Like an Italian
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2024
- Vegetarian Carbonara is the pasta dish I didn’t know I was missing. After an unprecedented number of requests, I have created the most delightful, creamy vegetarian carbonara dish and must admit, it’s sensational. With fried zucchini, pepper, and carbonara the flavor comes together beautifully. With a touch of garlic to give the dish a little kick..(*shhh* don’t tell Gordon Ramsey!) Controversial? Maybe,but I couldn’t live with the fact so many people are unable to enjoy Carbonara due to not eating meat so this is my creation and I stand by it.

I hope all the vegetarians appreciate this recipe
We do :)
its not vegetarian though. cheese and eggs are animal products just saying
Thanks dear for thinking about us👍👍👍
@@genghischuan4886 ** EDIT for correction **
You're correct, it's not vegan or vegetarian!
Vincenco is humiliating people from using garlic om carbonara. Then he uses it himself. What you gonna use next in carbonara? Bacon, peas or cream or all of them?
Just to be clear, there are pecorino varieties that are made with bacterial rennet which is vegeterian, so just buy the correct cheese and it can be vegetrian!
Thank you for letting us know 👏🏻🙏🏻
And add vegetarian eggs😄
Can you give some examples available in Australia
@@nickshoro4391 eggs are vegetarian but not vegan
But cheese its self is vegetarian but not vegan so just say that there are varietes of pecorino that are vegan
I just love Italy, Pasta, Pizza, and Vincenzo, what a chef you are man! Slow and gentle cooking is the key to making a cuisine super delicious because it takes great care while cooking.
wow thank you so much my friend, I appreciate 🙏🏻 Are you going to make this recipe?
Definitely ready for this one! More vegetarian recipes Vincenzo...keep up the great videos!
More to come 😍

@@jylauril wtf are you talking about? Zucchini are very good with garlic, and garlic is a spice that you can find in guanciale, that gives the flavour, so he put garlic for the extra flavour bozo
@@jylaurila
Your previous videos were a amazing, a real incite into the heart of Italian food and culture. But im so glad your back in the kitchen again Vincent. Cant wait to try this 😍😍
Thank you so much! 😍 I'm so glad you love my video recipes!
I just made this for lunch and it's a winner! It was delicious and I can't wait to do it again! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Fantastic!
Yes! I've been waiting for a long time for this video. Thanks Vincenzo!
Hope you enjoyed it! 😍
Looking forward to this one. I’m a carnivore, yet need to reduce my processed meat consumption. So new ideas are always welcome 🤗
So don't buy processed meat.... go to a butcher/meat market lol
@@ImBrockatron I go to the butchers and the markets, yet guanciale is processed, as too ham, salami and the like. I always buy high quality, organic, grass fed, free range, etc raw meats. Fresh cuts, minced, it doesn’t matter. You are what you eat, a meat free a few days a week can’t harm…
You don’t eat vegetables at all?
"I'm a carnivore", wow that's cringy.
Hope you enjoy! 😍
So looking forward. Thank you for creating this option.
It was a pleasure 🙏🏻 Are you going to try this version?
Yay, I'm excited for this! I don't eat pork so am happy for an alternative I can make.
Hope you enjoy
When I first read the title, my intention was "STOP IT! DON'T TOUCH THE RECIPE!"
But then I saw it's a Vincenzo's Plate video 🤩
Oh wow thank you so much my friend 🙏🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed it
It’s looks beautiful! Thanks Vicenzo❤!
Many thanks to you 🙏🏻 are you going to try this recipe?
I will definitely try this. I like zucchini in my pasta, and I usually eat pasta to avoid eating meat, plus it is a refreshing idea using it with the carbonara sauce. Thank you ❤
Ciao! I can't wait for you to try this recipe, I'm sure you will love it
Thanks for this one Vincenzo 🙏 I normally find a way to adapt your meat based recipes, but it’s great when you do the work for us vegetarians
the cheese isnt vegetarian friendly because of the rennit and try smoked tofu its so good for this dish as a ham substitute
@@TheCotzi Vegetarian pecorino is very easy to find, but thanks for the smoked tofu tip.
@@KILLAGORILLA7000 i thought it cant be vegetarian because it has to be the recipe with rennet to be authentic and no problem for the tip
@@TheCotzi The version with microbial rennet tastes just like the non-veg friendly one in my opinion. I know that's not the case with parmesan etc. It's easy to find in supermarkets in the UK, but may be harder to find in other locations
My pleasure!
Amazing carborna recipe with zucchini. Great use of the carbonara without putting peas in it.
Yes you can make a vegetarian dish even without peas haha
This looks delicious omg… I love vegetables, I love pasta and I love carbonara lol…. I would’ve thought though that there was some mushrooms…. I would do mushroom too, maybe in a separate in a mushroom carbonara ❤❤ great idea Vincenzo
Hope you enjoy 🙏🏻
so happy to try this out. thank you so much!
Awesome! Please try this recipe and let me know 😋
Can you show us how to make parmigiana di melanzane like an Italian? Please feature more veggie recipes on your channel. I absolutely love them.
sure, here's my Parmigiana recipe www.vincenzosplate.com/eggplant-parmigiana-recipe/
Thank you so much for this recipe Vincenzo! While I eat meat from time to time, I eat vegetarian the majority of the time.
I can enjoy carbonara without needing the meat
Fantastic! I’m sure you will love this vegetarian carbonara 😍
@@vincenzosplate If I don’t have a reason to, I don’t eat meat. So having vegetarian options helps a lot. Today I made a vegetarian bolongese with non meat soy mince. I wanted to include the celery and carrot but the size in the supermarket is too much for someone who lives alone
This is creativity on a plate, you have my respect
Wow you’re too kind 🙏🏻 thank you a lot! Are you going to make this recipe?
@@vincenzosplate sure thing sir ... You made it look soo easy and delicious. Plus I have a question. Since im a muslim and i dont eat guanciale. What is the best hallal substitute for it to make the best halal carbonara using your -seriously amazing - recipe
Thank you so much Vincenzo! I've been experimenting with my own ways of making a vegetarian version of carbonara. Now I have to try yours and see how I like this one! I really appreciate this video! ❤️
I can’t wait for you to try this one 😍 super curious
Thank you!!! I'm Muslim so I don't eat pork, def trying this
Great! I’m sure you will love this recipe 😋 yum
It was delicious! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!!
Cant wait for this one, Vincenzo! Always looking for new pasta dishes incorporating more vegetables!
Hope you like it! 😍 This is really good, even without guanciale!
i like that you teach how to cook vs just cooking.. thak you for this..
My pleasure 😊
this is so brilliant! bravissimo, Vincenzo!
wow thank you SO much Tamara, I appreciate it a lot!
I make my vegetarian carbonara with mushrooms, which I bake crispy in olive oil, just as you would with guanciale. Also very nice and with a bit of umami flavour 😉
you should try making it with zucchini!
What mushrooms? Justo regular white ir brown buttons? I tries with shitake once and ir wasnt very good :/
@@oscar9680 try maitake, they have a really nice shape. Make sure you brown them well, mushrooms take time to brown
Use vegan "bacon"
I am a vegetarian so cannot make many italian dishes. This makes me happy!
I think everyone should be able to taste a great carbonara, even if without guanciale!
@@vincenzosplate I am vegetarian too . In india we have a corn cheese version of pizza.
Vincenco is humiliating people from using garlic om carbonara. Then he uses it himself. What you gonna use next in carbonara? Bacon, peas or cream or all of them?
@@jylauril Dude, you're boring !!!
In his carbonara videos he explained that the reason he is against garlic in Carbonara is that the Guanciale is already heavily flavoured with, among other things, garlic.
Made it. Love it! Grazie! 😊
That's fantastic! I'm so glad you loved it. Grazie for trying the recipe and sharing your feedback! 🙏🍽️😊
Awesome!! Thank you for this!
Glad you liked it! Are you going to make this recipe?
Already did! My wife is from italy and we are both vegetarian. Imagine how happy she was when i served this. Gamechanging is frying the zuccini instead of stir frying it. That way it doesnt get all soggy and mushy. I must admit i used parmiggiano reggiano instead of peccorino (my wife prefers it) ;)
The way you eat your pasta, best asmr ever lol 👍
Hahahaha thank you 🤣
Hello, Vincenzo! I just found your recipe because I tried making a carbonara with oyster mushrooms instead of guanciale, and I think it turned out really well!
I eat vegetarian , I tried this recipe and is very good. Thank you Vicenzo for the veggie version👍. Please do more 🙏.
Ciao from Canada
Wow I’m glad you enjoyed it 😍
I tried this recipe using oyster mushroom instead of zucchini and it really is amazing!!! Deep crispy fried oyster mushroom that has been absorbing a bit of the sauce really taste like meat!!! Thank you vincenzo!!! ❤❤❤
I tried this recipe because I can't eat guanciale or pancetta or even pork to begin with... so I'm searching for non-meat options
Fantastic adaptation! Oyster mushrooms are a brilliant choice for that meaty texture. So glad you enjoyed the recipe even with the vegetarian twist. Cheers to delicious meat-free alternatives!
We try a day or two a week to go meatless. This looks amazing as usual!!!
great! Please try it and let me know!
Sei davvero un Maestro. Spettacolare👌🤲♥️
wow sei gentilissimo 🙏🏻 grazie mille!
Not a vegetarian but still loved it!!! Thank you!! The zucchini texture was so much joy!
Not vegan, but vegetarian
Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a decent carbonara for months. Thankfully spaghetti with scrambled eggs and parmigiana is still edible 😂
Tonight I finally got it right. Added spinach and toasted pignole for a little crunch. CIA trained chef husband approved 😊
Great job Vincenzo! This looks damn good :D something to make for those dates with Vegetarian girls
Yasss definitely 😍
I usually make it with mushroom I don’t ever make it with meat but this looks so good I’m going to try it
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your preference, mushroom is also a great option. Hope you enjoy the recipe and let me know how it goes 😊👨🍳
I will make this! This weekend definitely! Although, not sure whether I can fry them in so much oil. These days oil is so expensive and rare...
Hope you enjoy!
Just made it, I used just enough oil so all the pieces were coated in it and it was perfect!
I’m wondering if you can use an air fryer? 🤔
Mmmmm, mmmm.mm, mmmmm! 😁 You are great. I'm looking forward for the Video.
Have you watched it?
@@vincenzosplate Certo, I will make it for my vegetarian friends. 👍
This was awesome!!
Thank you! Hope you keep enjoying my videos 😊👨🍳
I need to try this!!!!!
yes pleaseeee 🤩 Try it and let me know!
congrats in getting 1 million subs my friend.
many many thanks 🙏🏻 did you like this version of Carbonara?
I'll gonna try it soon..
great! I can't wait for you to try
Looks very nice 🔥
thank you! It really tastes great!
Tried this yesterday, just with mushrooms, because I had no zucchini. It was incredible delicious. Thank you so much, Vincenzo.
The pasta in your video looks exactly like 'Spätzle', the swabian noodles from southern Germany. 😊
Do you know Spätzle?
YESSS❤❤❤
Looks yum yum to me! 😋😋
this is really good! Are you going to make this recipe?
@@vincenzosplate Yes, but I may add more veggies. Perhaps.
Fantastic!
This is really good, definitely a must try
Looking forward to trying this 😍
Well I'll try to prepare it one day...
Great! I hope you’ll enjoy!
You are so excited when you taste it
Yesss cause it tasted amazing!
Such a joy to watch you make all of these wonderful Italian dishes!
Love your humor!! Don’t stop now😂👍
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! 😄❤️ Cooking and sharing Italian dishes is my passion, and I'm here to keep the laughter and deliciousness flowing. Stay tuned for more culinary adventures! 👨🍳🇮🇹😂👍
Grande👏
Grazie mille 🙏🏻
Yay finally a good veggie recipe.
Did you enjoy the video recipe? 😍
It's on the menu tonight 🍴
The carbonara was to die for...waiting for more vegetarian recipes 😍
@@NikkieN1992 This isn't vegetarian. Pecorino romano contains animal rennet.
@@johntate5050 there is such a thing as lacto-ovo vegetarian.
Thank you for this video. Can you recommend a replacement for eggs please? Where I am from, in India, vegetarians do not consume eggs but consume dairy. We also have the largest vegetarian population of any country here in India. So, your answers would help a lot of people. :)
You can just omit them!
All reprect. You taught me how to make Carbonara. And I think I do OK because of you. You will make my vegetarian friends very happy
One question though. No pepper on the zucchini while cooking? I would think the goal is to make it as similar to guanciale as you can. So early spicing seems like a must.
Please don't make this for your vegetarian friends. The recipe is not vegetarian. PEcorino contains rennet from slaughtered animals and is therefore not vegetarian.
Thank you a lot my friend 🙏🏻 I’m sure your vegetarian friends will love this recipe!
Anyway, you don’t necessarily need to add pepper to zucchini, just because it should resemble guanciale
@@vincenzosplate Just made this! My only comment is that I wanted more fried zucchini than was in the video. That stuff is great!
Awesome❤️🤗
Thank you Stacey 🙏🏻 Are you going to try this recipe?
Such a way to make my birthday
Oh wow 🤩 Happy Birthday 🥳
Looks delicious! Well done! Now, have you thought about another challenge for Carbonara: vegan Carbonara? If anyone who can think up of best egg and cheese substitutes, I have confidence in you Vincenzo.
I appreciate your suggestion for a vegan Carbonara challenge! Finding the perfect egg and cheese substitutes is indeed an exciting task. I'll definitely take up the challenge and explore the possibilities. Stay tuned for some delicious vegan recipes coming your way! 🌱🍝👨🍳
@@vincenzosplate I am looking forward to it! Myself, I grew up in North Carolina and my dad's side is Jewish. But the South is big into BBQ: and I do have to smoke my NC style pork from time to time (so no Kosher diet myself, and am all into the traditional Italian recipes). Just now getting some vegan recipes for other people, Seems vegan diets are getting more popular, so how to cook vegan like an Italian should garnish views! P.S., just saw your video of how to cook pineapple pizza like an Italian: bravo-I would have thought no Italian would have touched that. The funny thing is that it's called Hawaiian pizza, but was actually invented in Canada.
I will be making this one for my partner, but roasting the zucchini instead of frying it 👍
Great! Let me know how it goes, I’m super curious
Nice, I'm cooking this tonight.
Let me know how it goes!
@@vincenzosplate I have done it twice. The first time I didn't have Pecorino so I had to use Parmigiano Reggiano. Apart from that I followed your recipe, but found it a bit bitter, probably because of the cheese.
The second time I bought good Pecorino cheese, La Molisana pasta and Vegetarian Bacon (nothing vegetarian is similar to guanciale) and did the exact recipe you did except I cooked the vegetarian bacon with butter and added the previously fried zucchini at the end. And I must say this second attempt went very well. Nothing was left at the end and everyone ate with a satisfied look. My 6yo son loved it and asked me to do it again. So I'm adding this to my regular recipes. I'll do it with fresh pasta next. So thank you for this recipe.
Bravissimooo!! 😄
Grazie mille 🙏🏻 La proverai?
@@vincenzosplate Sicuro!! 👍
cant wait to make this soon for me can i use vegan cheese i never had zucchini carbonara before i love zucchini and italian food sooooooooooooo much perfect for my after office meals
Ciao Ramya! Of course you can make vegan variations! I'm sure you will love this recipe 😋
Appreciate the vegetarian option, looks yummy
It really is 😋 definitely a must try
Oh, man! I would love to try this, but we don’t eat eggs in my family. 😭
Love all your recipes though ♥️
I'm glad you enjoy the recipes! If you're looking for egg-free alternatives, you can often find vegan versions of classic dishes. For carbonara, you might consider using a plant-based cream (like cashew or soy cream) as a substitute for the traditional egg-based sauce. While it won't be exactly the same, it can still be delicious in its own right. Remember, cooking is all about experimenting and adapting to your preferences. Happy cooking! 🍝👨🍳🌱🇮🇹
Hey! Thank you sooo much for replying - I feel like I am talking to a celebrity.. hehe.. Yes, I will consider making sauce with Soy or Cashew cream as an alternative. That's a great idea.
Thanks Vincenzo. I already made your carbonara using vegan becon.Time for zucchini one :)
Sounds great! 😍
How is egg vegetarian though?
@@huneydubs by definition, vegetarianism excludes any form of animal flesh but eggs are not flesh. So eggs are vegetarian but not vegan.
Thrilled to see a vegetarian recipe!
More to come! 😍
Yeeees🎉🎉 more vegetarian recepies please!! 💜💜
More to come!
@@vincenzosplate wohoo!🥳
Is it possible to make a vegan carbonara? Would it be a challenge for you?
For G.R. you should add green peas in the Sauce.... Hahaha!
Thank you very much, Vicenzo, for sharing your wonderful video with us.
Greetings to Suzanne, to Sebastian, to your familiies in Italy and in Australia and to you from the Swiss Kitchen Dummy.
well a vegan carbonara would be quite impossible, that's true challenging
@@vincenzosplate I'm going to horrify you with smoked tofu and creamy almond butter sauce.
Frying some smoked tofu for 5-8 mins until crispy outside, chewy inside. Add salt and garlic. Onion perhaps, I don't remember exactly.
Whisk together almond butter and water and add to it
Add nutritional yeast flakes (good one are hard to find, though, many just taste super yeasty, certainly avoid organic) to get a cheesy flavor. Might also use vegan cheese substitute, but yeast is more basic.
Mix in the pasta
Add a shit ton of pepper.
I like to add some lemon zest to that sauce before adding the pasta, but that makes you scream even more.
I don't want to call that carbonara though, but it's inspired by carbonara and the German fucked up version using creams instead of eggs (almond butter + water is a classic cream substitute, it's obviously behaving different, and you end up with a more scrambled egg reduction if that ends up drying out).
In any case make sure to use good almond butter. Unsweetened, I prefer Italian or Spanish ones, certainly do not use Californian. Californian almonds are bland garbage.
@@canisinumbra It's pretty weird but not disgusting :D
It's quite possible with egg substitute and vegan pecorino if it exists 🤔
Grazie Vincenzo. Looks delicious. I'm a vegetarian too. Keep them coming!
Thank you, I will!
Hi Vincenzo, could I mix the zucchini stripes in flour before frying it, it would get more CRISPY, isn‘t it? Greetings from Berlin/GER
Oh yes you could try!
Secondo me qualcuno ci metterà sopra una bistecca di sicuro 😂 Bella ricetta, molto interessante 👍👍👍
Grazie mille
just to let you know that pecorino is actually not vegetarian (nor is parmigiano reggiano for that matter) because it is made with lamb rennet to curdle the casein in the milk. a good substitute for vegetarians could be something like Vegetale di Sardegna which is made from vegetable rennet. nice video though :)
Meatless pasta is great! (Vegetarian in most cultures means no egg as well).
I like to roast my veggies with min oil rather than fry as healthier. A mix of roasted Mediterranean veg would make a great carbonara for meat-free day 👍
That looks interesting
Many thanks! Are you curious to try this recipe?
@@vincenzosplate Maybe
thank God you made veg car
Did you enjoyed it? 😍
I love carbonara, but I have to stick to my vegetarian diet. Will give this a go! 🧀🥚🌿
What would you recommend if we don't eat eggs?
Don’t make carbonara 🤣
what oil are you frying the zucchini in?
Would I be able to fry it in extra virgin olive oil instead of sunflower oil?
Sure but have a look at the price difference of EVO to sunflower oil…
Yes of course
No eggs
No deep frying zucchini in grease sunflower oil
No pecorino in rennet
Agree with vegetarian carbonara... I might use another vegetable
Yes feel free to experiment
Can you do this with Aubergines as they are more meaty in texture?
Interesting idea, they have a stronger flavor too
You could try, it sounds interesting
Because of religion reason, I can't eat the authentic with guancialle. This vegetarian version is worth to try.
Great! I hope you will enjoy this recipe 🙏🏻❤
If the choice is between a religion that forbids Carbonara & a real, good Carbonara, then the religion loses IMHO…😎😎😎
Can we substitute the zucchini for mushrooms or some other vegetable?
Yes you can but prepare yourself when flavors starts to shift because some vegetables have an overpowering taste.
@@vincenzosplate honoured to be personally replied from you.
I wonder if olives would add the saltyness of the guancale? 🤔
Would you do anything different if you were using mushrooms?
I would also recommend sautéing them separately and let the moisture come out first before adding in the rest of the ingredients.
@@vincenzosplate Grazie mille!
Can we use milk instead of eggs
Thanks for this video I'm sensetive to dairy so this really helps.
Glad it was helpful!
One question, Pecorino is made using animal rennet, isn’t it?
If yes, then we would need an alternative.
You could find a good vegan cheese brand
well I made a vegetarian version, not a vegan! But there are many vegan cheese brands out there
@@vincenzosplate if it has rennet it's not vegetarian because a cow was killed to make it.
@@sonicman9910
Contradiction in terms
@@vincenzosplate There are many vegetarian dairy cheeses. They are the cheeses that are NOT made with animal rennet. Vegan cheese is a different thing entirely; it's not even cheese. :) People making your dish will just need to source a hard cheese similar to pecorino romano, but not made with rennet. It will be labelled 'suitable for vegetarians'.
I make my vegeterian carbonara with melanzana (eggplant) and I call it Melanzara :)
Sounds great! 😍
waiting....
OUT NOW!!!
With dehydrated aubergines that smell like bacon also possible
Dehydrated aubergines with a bacon-like aroma? Now that's a creative twist! 🍆🥓 Italian cuisine is all about innovation. Give it a go and let me know how it turns out! 👨🍳👏😋
As I vegetarian I would love a bite
you should try making this recipe 😋
It is not vegetarian though...Pecorino contains rennet, that comes from slaughtered animals.
I hate zucchini… but I bet eggplant would work as well, or maybe even better.
You should try 😋
I like to use leek instead of zucchini.
Sounds interesting
