Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized zucchini
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini. Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchini into noodles (zoodles). If you do not have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to slice the zucchini into long, thin ribbons.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Increase the heat to medium and add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss them in the sauce gently to coat the zoodles thoroughly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are heated through but still al dente. Avoid overcooking them to prevent the zucchini from becoming mushy.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the low-carb Fettuccine Alfredo to serving plates.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your creamy and delicious low-carb Fettuccine Alfredo!
