20 minutes
Summer carbonara is a light interpretation of the classic Italian dish, perfect for warm days. The combination of tender asparagus, fresh green peas, and aromatic garlic creates a harmony of spring flavors enriched with the creamy texture of a cream-egg mixture. Linguini soaked in sauce and parmesan become airy and delicate. The refreshing taste of vegetables makes this dish not only delicious but also light, giving traditional carbonara a seasonal charm. It is ideal for dinner on the terrace with a glass of white wine, creating an atmosphere of coziness and enjoyment of summer aromas. This version of carbonara is not just a culinary delight but also an opportunity to enjoy fresh ingredients at their best.
