Ingredients

• 4 medium Zucchini
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Coconut milk
• 8 slices Paleo-friendly bacon
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by spiralizing the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Set the zucchini noodles aside on a clean kitchen towel to help absorb excess moisture.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, black pepper, and salt until well combined. This will be your carbonara sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Chop the bacon slices into small pieces. Add them to a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it's crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

Step 4

Minced the garlic cloves and add them to the bacon fat in the pan. Sauté the garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the zucchini noodles to the pan with the garlic and bacon fat, tossing to coat the noodles. Sauté the noodles for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still firm to the bite.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and return the crispy bacon to the pan, combining it with the zucchini noodles.

Step 7

Slowly pour the carbonara sauce over the zucchini noodles and bacon mixture, stirring constantly as the sauce thickens and coats the noodles evenly. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Drizzle olive oil over the finished dish if desired. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Classic Pasta Carbonara hot immediately.
