Courgette and Sweet Pepper Carbonara step by step

1. Prepare the vegetables: half the courgettes lengthways and slice thinly into half moons, finely chop the sweet pepper..

Add the courgettes, paprika and cayenne pepper and fry for about 5-10 mins until they shrink in size and lose most of their moisture. Stir often to make sure they don't burn. Reduce to a medium heat and add the garlic and sweet peppers..
4. Mix the egg yolks, parmesan and cream together in a jug..
5. When everything's done, take off the heat and pour the drained pasta and egg/cream/cheese mixture into the courgette/pepper/spice pot. Mix thoroughly. If it looks a little dry add some of the retained pasta water. Season with salt/pepper to taste..
6. Serve in a bowl with a sprinkling of more parmesan cheese on top if you'd like!.
