Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drain and rinse the shirataki noodles thoroughly under cold water for at least 2 minutes, then pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook down until wilted, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the drained shirataki noodles and wilted spinach to the egg mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches in size).
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the egg mixture has set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into portions. Serve warm.
