Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup, chopped parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles from the medium zucchinis. Set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess moisture.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Cut the bacon slices into 1-inch pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook until the bacon is crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the bacon. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut cream, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the zucchini noodles. Toss them gently to combine with the bacon and garlic.
Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini noodles and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the noodles. Be sure to keep the heat low to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Remove the skillet from heat and immediately stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve the Paleo Classic Spaghetti Carbonara hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
