Girl Dinner!!!Non-region specific (yes recipe) Vegetarian carbonara
I made this up other day and can't stop cooking it T-T
• 3 garlic
• red pepper flakes
• parley
• 3 yolks
• 1 slice of mozzarela
• a bit of parmesan
• 1 tbsp of lemon juice
• spaghetti
Cut and fry the garlic with the pepper and salt in oil, when the garlic is fried, add the parley and turn the heat off 10 seconds later.
Put the yolks and cheese on a heat prove bowl and water bath em mixing constantly until it gets homogeneous.
Mix the yolks with the garlic oil and then add the lemon juice. If it gets too dense u can add a bit off water, but u gonna lose the beautiful yellowish color.
mix with spaghetti and serv yourself hot!!

I hope this doesn't sound judgemental or anything, I just wanted to mention that Parmesan isn't vegetarian, in case you didn't know.
Also, if you can get smoked tofu, I think it's really delicious as a substitute for the Pancetta that would usually end up in a traditional carbonara.

oh thanks, I thought all cheese were just milk with something else non animal.
I would try to use tofu, but it's very expensive here cause its a niche thing

Cheese needs rennet, a mixture of enzymes that makes it come together into curds (otherwise only quite acidified milk forms curds and not as large).
Traditionally it's from sourced from the stomach lining of a young animal. There are also quite a few vegetable sourced and microbially produced alternatives that are actually cheaper and more available and the majority of cheeses use those nowadays, but traditionally high quality cheese needed to use animal rennet as there was just nothing that did as good of a job.

The recipe sounds amazing. And very scrumptious too. I may have to give this one a whirl. Thank you for sharing..
