Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Zucchini
- 6 slices Bacon
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer. Set aside.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
Discard most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
Step 4
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Add the olive oil to the skillet and sauté the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to combine with the garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the egg and cream mixture into the skillet, stirring quickly to coat the zucchini noodles. Be careful not to scramble the eggs; the sauce should be creamy and smooth.
Step 8
Add the chopped bacon to the skillet and stir until evenly distributed.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
