Keto carbonara zoodles

Servings: 2 / Time: 35 min

Ingredients

• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp butter
• 120g / 4.2oz bacon or pancetta, diced
• A pinch of salt and pepper
• 400g / 14.1oz zucchini zoodles
• 2 egg yolks
• ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Zoodles

1. Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). If you don’t have a spiralizer, a potato peeler can be used instead to create slightly wider zoodles.

Bacon

1. In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add bacon and fry until crispy.
2. Set aside the bacon in the pan, including the fat, and allow it to cool.

Sauce

1. Pour heavy cream into a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt. Reduce heat and continue to gently boil until the cream has reduced down by approximately one quarter.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cream to reduce in temperature, stir occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
3. In a separate bowl (while the cream is reducing), combine the egg yolks, cooked diced bacon (including the fat), and parmesan cheese.
4. Add the egg-bacon-parmesan cheese mixture to the just warm sauce, stirring continuously to ensure the egg mixture does not scramble. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Return the saucepan to medium-low heat to gently warm the sauce. Add the zoodles to the saucepan and warm through (1-2 minutes).
6. Serve and top with a generous amount of freshly grated parmesan.
