SPIRILIZED: LOW CARB CARBONARA (click here to print)

INGREDIENTS
  • 3 zucchinis, washed and prepped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, diced
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • pot of boiling water
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup shredded parmesan, 
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. In a large pan, slowly render fat from bacon. Cook on low setting and flip when slightly browned. You want to render the most fat possible and make the bacon perfectly crunchy- so don't rush it.(I fry my bacon in the microwave to the crispy stage...takes about 15 minutes)
  2. When bacon has been crisped, remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add garlic to pan and let brown slightly on low- you dont want it to burn. (about 5 minutes)
  4. Spiralize  zucchini noodles, and add to pan with bacon grease and garlic.
  5. Cook on high until browned and most of the liquid has drained.
  6. Drain off liquid.
  7. Return pan to stove and turn to medium.
  8. Add cheese and cream, stirring frequently to incorporate.
  9. Crumble bacon and stir in to noodles.
  10. When sauce thickens, remove from stove.
  11. Add poached eggs and serve.  

  12. Note: I sprinkle on some  Lawry's Chile and garlic seasoning on each plate before serving because we love garlic and a little spice
