Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Pine nuts
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 medium Avocado
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis. Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles (zoodles) and set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once warm, add the zoodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender. Be careful not to overcook to avoid sogginess. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a blender, combine fresh basil leaves, spinach leaves, garlic, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, pine nuts, salt, black pepper, and optional avocado (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 4
Transfer the blended sauce to a small saucepan and heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to warm through.
Step 5
Pour the warm sauce over the sautéed zoodles and toss gently to combine, ensuring the zoodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Step 6
Plate the Keto Tallarines Verdes and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and a few pine nuts, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, keto-friendly take on this Peruvian classic!
