Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the 3 medium zucchinis. Set them aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well and heat until the cream begins to simmer, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce becomes smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing gently in the Alfredo sauce to coat them evenly. Continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the noodles are tender but still firm to the bite.
Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Fettuccine Alfredo!
