Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the zucchini noodles, also known as 'zoodles'. Use a spiralizer to cut the zucchini into long, thin noodle-like strips. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
Step 4
Lower the heat and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese into the cream mixture, stirring continuously until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
Step 6
Add the zucchini noodles to the pan. Toss the noodles gently in the creamy Alfredo sauce to coat them evenly, and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are heated through but still retain some crunch.
Step 7
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 8
Enjoy your Keto Fettuccine Alfredo warm for the best taste and texture.
