Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by preparing the zucchini noodles, also known as 'zoodles'. Use a spiralizer to cut the zucchini into long, thin noodle-like strips. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese into the cream mixture, stirring continuously until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
Add the zucchini noodles to the pan. Toss the noodles gently in the creamy Alfredo sauce to coat them evenly, and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are heated through but still retain some crunch.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
Enjoy your Keto Fettuccine Alfredo warm for the best taste and texture.
