Enjoy this incredibly creamy Zucchini Noodle Alfredo! We swap heavy cream for a light, yet rich sauce that coats the noodles perfectly. You will love how satisfying this low-carb dish feels.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream substitute (like almond or cashew cream)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into noodles. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in your cream substitute. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk until the sauce thickens slightly and looks creamy.
  5. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Cook for only 1-2 minutes; you want the noodles warm but still slightly crisp.
  6. Serve immediately and admire that beautiful creaminess!

Notes

  • To keep the sauce extra creamy and prevent the zucchini from releasing too much water, cook the sauce first before adding the noodles briefly.
  • For a richer flavor, toast the garlic in the oil slightly longer until it just begins to turn golden brown.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash of reserved pasta water or low-carb vegetable broth.
