Start with the zucchini noodles. Use a spiralizer to make the zucchini noodles. But feel free to use store-bought pre-made noodles if that is easier for you. Next, crisp up some bacon. In the same skillet, cook onions and garlic. Meanwhile, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl. While constantly stirring, pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Season to taste. Finally, throw it all together: add peas, bacon, and zucchini noodles. Toss it up and let warm through. Serve immediately sprinkled with chopped basil and extra Parmesan.
To make the Gluten-Free Zucchini Carbonara, you will need the following ingredients:
Using a spiralizer, make the zucchini noodles. Alternatively, use pre-made noodles.
In a large skillet over medium heat, fry 8 pieces diced bacon until just barely crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
Return the skillet to the stove over medium-low heat and add the diced ½ an onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix together 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, ¾ a cup finely grated Parmesan, and ¾ a cup heavy cream until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onions and garlic, constantly stirring. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Add in ½ a cup thawed peas and the cooked bacon, constantly stirring until combined, and the peas are warmed through.
Add the zucchini noodles, gently stirring to coat. Be careful not to scramble the eggs and not to break the noodles.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with basil and extra Parmesan.
