Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup keto-friendly pasta (zucchini noodles or shirataki)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 Knife & cutting board

Method
 

  1. Saute the Bacon: Preheat a pan on medium, add bacon bits and saute until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  2. Make the Pasta: Prepare zoodles or shirataki noodles as per the package directions. Drain off the excess water.
  3. Whisk the Sauce: Whisk together eggs and grated Parmesan in a bowl until cream and silky. This will be the foundation of your sauce.
  4. Saute Garlic: In that same pan, put in some olive oil and garlic. Cook until fragrant without burning.
  5. Combine Pasta and Bacon: Add noodles and bacon to the skillet. Toss gently to mix flavours.
  6. Finish with Sauce: Remove from heat, pour in the egg mixture, and stir quickly until the noodles are coated in a creamy sauce.

Notes

  • Using room temperature eggs will help to prevent curdling.
  • Combine sauce off heat for a creamy sauce.
  • Add extra cheese for richness.
  • Pat shirataki noodles with a kitchen towel so the sauce won’t end up watery.
