Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Zucchini (medium-sized)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Truffle slices for garnish
Instructions
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini into noodle-like strands using a spiralizer. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to blend with the garlic.
Slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until a smooth sauce forms.
Stir in the truffle oil, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to incorporate into the sauce.
Increase the heat to medium, then add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss the noodles in the sauce until they are well coated and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the pasta for garnish.
Divide the pasta into serving dishes, topping each with a few slices of truffle for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve immediately while hot, savoring the rich and aromatic experience of low carb truffle pasta.
