Zucchini is one of the most popular low carb vegetables - and it's particularly good for making "zoodles"! With this vegetarian recipe, I've paired it with a gorgeously creamy low carb Alfredo Sauce. It's a recipe I use frequently - it's great for chicken, fish, veggies, and more! I've even slathered it over alfredo chicken wings! It's a wonderful combination - and is very filling!

How to Make Low Carb Zucchini Alfredo

There are many ways to prepare zucchini noodles (and you can read more in depth about zoodles here!), here are the top methods:

• Julienne peeler
• Spiralizer
• Mandoline
• Handheld spiral cutter
• And of course - you can buy them already prepared in grocery stores!

Whichever method you choose, try to avoid including the seeds - as this will make the final result mushy. Once they're ready, dry fry them in a skillet over a low-medium heat. They contain a lot of water and this is the best way to dry them out.

While the zucchini noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce. Melt some butter in a saucepan, then add some heavy cream. Stir well, then add shredded Parmesan cheese, a little at a time. Test the sauce for seasoning and add salt and pepper as necessary.

Drain the cooked noodles of any excess liquid, then add the sauce. Stir well to coat the zoodles, then serve. Garnish the Zucchini Alfredo with chopped fresh parsley or basil.

By the way, if you love zucchini and you have some leftover, try this zucchini cake recipe from My PCOS Kitchen - it looks amazing!
