Vegetarian carbonara is a meat-free version of the famous Roman dish. In this recipe, traditional eggs and Parmesan cheese are used to give creaminess to the pasta, while vegetables like carrots, zucchini, leek, red onion, and savoy cabbage add flavor and texture. A delicious alternative for vegetarians and those who want to enjoy a lighter variant of the original carbonara.

Cut the carrots and zucchini into thin ribbons using a peeler, the white part of the leek and the savoy cabbage into thin strips, and the red onion into very thin wedges
