When the abundant ingredient is zucchini….I’m happy.  It is one of my favorite summer vegetables for certain and one I turn to all year long.  In an effort to find more low-carb recipe options I came across this Zucchini Carbonara recipe on the site Whole Lifestyle Nutrition.  What a fantastic way to enjoy the rich flavors of carbonara without the added carbs from pasta.
