Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, create zucchini noodles ('zoodles'). Pat the zoodles dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing gently, until slightly softened. Remove the noodles from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and cook over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Add the cream cheese to the skillet and whisk until fully melted and smooth.
Slowly stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to whisk until the cheese sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season the cheese sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add the zucchini noodles back to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the cheese sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through.
Transfer the keto spaghetti to serving plates and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
