Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add leeks and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in zucchini and carrots; cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, grated parmesan cheese, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet with veggies; toss to combine.

Remove from heat; quickly pour egg mixture over pasta, tossing to coat evenly.

If needed, add reserved pasta water to create a creamy sauce.

Season with salt and additional black pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
