Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and trim the ends. Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchini into noodles (also known as zoodles) and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Be sure not to let it boil.
Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper.
In a separate large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are just tender, but not mushy.
Pour the Alfredo sauce over the zucchini noodles, stirring gently to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve the Keto Classic Alfredo Pasta immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
