Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, create zucchini noodles ('zoodles'). Pat the zoodles dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing gently, until slightly softened. Remove the noodles from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and cook over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Step 5
Add the cream cheese to the skillet and whisk until fully melted and smooth.
Step 6
Slowly stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to whisk until the cheese sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Season the cheese sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Add the zucchini noodles back to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the cheese sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through.
Step 9
Transfer the keto spaghetti to serving plates and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
