Keto Zucchini Noodle Carbonara
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to coat with the bacon fat and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the zucchini noodles, stirring constantly to coat the noodles and create a creamy sauce. The residual heat will cook the eggs without scrambling them.
- Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the zucchini noodle carbonara among serving plates, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
