Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchinis spiralized into noodles or peeled with a vegetable peeler into thin ribbons
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 medium Eggs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- Fresh Chives chopped, to garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the zucchini noodles. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still al dente. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
- Push the zucchini noodles to one side of the skillet and pour the egg mixture into the other side. Let it cook for a few seconds until the edges start to set.
- Using a spatula, quickly combine the zucchini noodles with the egg mixture. Toss until the noodles are coated, and the cheese is melted. The residual heat will cook the eggs without scrambling them.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the crispy bacon.
- Divide the Zucchini Noodle Carbonara into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh chives. Serve immediately while hot!
