Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the zucchini. Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchini into thin noodle-like strands and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic butter. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent the sauce from separating.
Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste. Continue to cook the sauce on low heat while you prepare the zucchini noodles.
In another skillet over medium heat, add the zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are just tender. Remember not to overcook them to maintain a firm texture.
Drain any excess moisture from the zucchini noodles and then transfer them to the Alfredo sauce.
Toss the zucchini noodles gently in the sauce until they are well coated and heated through.
Serve the Keto Pasta Alfredo hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
