Carbonara with Spiralizer Zucchini Noodles
Health Highlights
No white pasta!

Ingredients


5 medium Zucchini (top and bottom sliced off)
3 slice Pancetta, lean (diced)
2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 medium egg Egg yolk (beaten)
1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano (grated)
1/2 cup Frozen green peas
1 pinch Salt and pepper

Instructions


  1. Using the medium noodle-sized grate, process the zucchinis into ribbons, cutting any really long noodles into more manageable ones. Pat the zucchini noodles down with a lot of paper towels until fairly dry.
  2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook until crisp, then remove the bacon to a small dish and return the pan to the stove.
  3. Add in the olive oil and turn the heat to high. Add in the zucchini and saute for 2 minutes.
  4. Turn off the heat.
  5. Mix together the eggs, cheese and peas in a bowl, then add them to the pasta and toss gently until coated. This should take literally 2 minutes.
  6. Add back the bacon and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Serve.

Notes:

Dairy-Free
