    Why You'll Love Zoodles Alfredo Style!

    • Incredibly easy to make
    • On the table in just 20 minutes
    • Only 4.5 grams of net carbs!!

    What are Zoodles?

    Zoodles or zucchini noodles are made from zucchini which is a type of summer squash. It can be thinly sliced, julienned or spiralized into long, thin noodles that are great for pasta dishes and other recipes where you need "pasta" made of vegetables.

    What are Zoodles?

    They are a great alternative that can replace noodles or pasta in just about any recipe. Perfect for making low carb or keto dishes because they are low in carbs and high in dietary fiber.

    How To Make Zoodles?

    We made these zoodles using a vegetable peeler to show you how you don’t need special equipment like a spiralizer to make zoodles. This technique can be used with all types of vegetables as well.

    However, if you do want to invest in a good spiralizer it will save you lots of time and it's super useful on keto!

    We suggest using the Spiralizer 7-Blade Vegetable Slicer.

    Are Zucchini Noodles Keto?

    Yes! Zucchini is an excellent low-carb vegetable. Each medium zucchini only contains 33 calories with 2 grams of fiber and a total of 4 grams of net carbs.

    It's also a great source of vitamin C and potassium making it a great choice on keto.

    In fact, if you replaced pasta with zucchini noodles just once per week you would lose over 2 pounds each year! Even more if you ate them more frequently!

    Alfredo Zoodles Ingredients

    To make this zucchini pasta alfredo style you'll only need 11 simple ingredients!

    Zucchini Alfredo Ingredients

    Zucchini - make sure you don't peel your zucchini before spiralizing or peeling into zoodles. It will result in a soft and mushy noodle when they're cooked.

    Bacon - crispy bacon is an essential ingredient for any alfredo pasta. Check out our essential guides on how to make the perfect crispy bacon in a pan or in the oven.

    Onion - sautéed onion gives our alfredo sauce a rich umami flavor and sweetness that compliments it so well.

    Garlic - fresh garlic is perfect for enhancing any alfredo sauce. Feel free to add more depending on your tastes!

    White wine - we suggest using a white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio as they're both low in carbs.

    Goat cheese - we used crumbled goat cheese to top our zucchini noodles along with crispy bacon. It adds soft, crumbly and creamy texture with a tangy flavor.

    Parmesan cheese - one of the key ingredients to make the perfect alfredo sauce is Parmesan.

    Heavy Cream - also known as double cream or thickened cream, make sure it's at room temperature for the best results.

    Seasonings - our keto zucchini pasta only requires salt and black pepper. However, feel free to add your favorites! Dill, thyme, oregano and basil all go perfect with this dish.

    How To Make Zucchini Alfredo

    Keto zucchini noodles really couldn't be more simple to make with just 10 minutes prep and 10 minutes cooking time. Let's get started!

    Zucchini Noodles Keto

    Step 1

    To get started, heat a dry pan and crisp the bacon on both sides, chop and set aside. Don't clean the pan or pour out any of the bacon grease.

    Step 2

    Add the olive oil to the pan with the bacon grease and sauté the chopped onion for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until well combined.

    Step 3

    Pour the white wine into the pan and let everything simmer until half the wine has been absorbed.

    Step 4

    Add the heavy cream to the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer again. Once it has reached a simmer, fold in the Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens.

    Step 5

    Toss in the zucchini noodles and gently fold them into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 6

    Serve the creamy zucchini alfredo hot, topped with crispy bacon pieces and crumbled goat cheese.
