Ingredients

• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup zucchini, diced
• 1 cup bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, and riced cauliflower to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and pour in 1 cup of heavy cream.

Step 6

Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it is completely melted and incorporated into the cream, creating a smooth sauce.

Step 7

Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, mixing the sauce until the cheese has melted.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and blend the sauce using an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the skillet.

Step 9

Reheat the sauce gently if necessary and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to your taste.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve the sauce warm over your favorite low-carb dish.
