Zoodle Alfredo With Bacon

We here at Everyday Health love zoodles. Not just because we think it’s such a fun word to say but also because they are a flavorful and nutritious alternative to regular pasta. This zoodle alfredo gives the original a run for it’s money! That’s partly because we love that its a little less of a guilty pleasure when made with zucchini but also because we load it up with tons of bacon! AND it takes just as long if not less time to make than the original. You can’t afford not to make this amazing keto-friendly recipe!
