Preparation steps

1.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta and cook according to package instructions or until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
2.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; saute zucchini and onions until tender, stirring frequently. Season to taste with salt and pepper; add garlic, continue cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine and heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
3.
In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and add Parmesan; whisk again until blended. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
4.
Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the skillet with the zucchini and cream sauce. Toss to coat spaghetti. Add the egg and cheese mixture and quickly heat through, whisking until the eggs thicken. Remove from heat so the eggs do not scramble. Add chopped thyme and toss. Divide between plates and serve immediately. Sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired.
