Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut off the ends. Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set aside.
Step 2
Pat the zucchini noodles dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. This helps prevent them from becoming watery during cooking.
Step 3
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley for garnishing. Grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 3-4 minutes, tossing frequently, until slightly softened. Do not overcook. Remove the zucchini noodles from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 7
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Return the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the Alfredo sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the noodles through.
Step 9
Transfer the low-carb spaghetti to serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately for best results.
