Zoodle Alfredo With Bacon
At Delish, we have a deep appreciation for zoodles. Not only do we find the word itself delightful, but we also recognize the fantastic flavor and nutritional benefits they offer as a substitute for traditional pasta. Our zoodle alfredo recipe truly gives the original a run for its money! One reason is that it provides a guilt-free pleasure by using zucchini instead, but we also take it up a notch by adding plenty of savory bacon. The best part? This keto-friendly version can be prepared in just as little, if not less, time than the original. Trust us, you can't afford to miss out on this incredible recipe!
