Bacon Zucchini Noodles with Basil
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 slices Canadian bacon (trimmed of all fat and thinly sliced)
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil (drained and sliced into strips)
- 1 small red chile (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- A handful of fresh basil (thinly shredded)
Instructions
- Make your spaghetti by either grating the zucchini at an angle on the largest side of a cheese grater or using a hand-held julienne peeler or spiralizer.
- Place 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over high heat and stir-fry the zucchini for 3 minutes. Add the bacon to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until cooked. Reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, chile, pine nuts, and the remaining olive oil to the pan. Toss for a few minutes, then take off the heat.
- Divide the spaghetti between four bowls, sprinkle with the basil, and serve immediately.
