Ingredients
- 3 pieces Zucchini (large, for noodles)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set them aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 3
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the cream cheese and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
In a separate skillet, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until just tender but not mushy. Avoid overcooking to prevent the noodles from becoming watery.
Step 6
Transfer the zucchini noodles to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Plate the Keto Spaghetti Alfredo and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb, creamy Alfredo dish.
