Ingredients

  • 3 zucchinis washed and prepped
  • 3 cloves of garlic diced
  • 4 slices bacon

  • pot of boiling water
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • cup shredded parmesan omit if keeping to a strict paleo diet

Instructions

  • 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.
  • When bacon has been crisped, remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add garlic to pan and let brown slightly on low- you dont want it to burn. (about 5 minutes)
  • Spiralize zucchini noodles, and add to pan with bacon grease and garlic.
  • Cook on high until browned and most of the liquid has drained.
  • Drain off liquid.
  • Return pan to stove and turn to medium.
  • Add cheese and cream, stirring frequently to incorporate.
  • Crumble bacon and stir in to noodles.
  • When sauce thickens, remove from stove.
  • Add poached eggs and serve.
