A low-carb take on carbonara using spiralized zucchini and roasted, un-cured pork belly for richness. No cheeses or processed ingredients — egg yolks bring creaminess.

This recipe is originally for 2 servings. How many are you cooking for today?

Ingredients
  • 5 1/4 ozs uncured pork belly, trimmed (total for 2 servings)
  • 1 1/8 lbs zucchini, spiralized (about 4 medium)
  • 4 larges pasture-raised eggs
  • 3 1/2 ozs cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/3 oz fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Roast pork belly on a rack until fat renders and edges crisp, about 25–30 minutes. Let rest and dice.

2

While pork cooks, quickly sauté mushrooms in their own moisture in a hot pan until browned. Remove mushrooms.

3

Add spiralized zucchini to the pan and toss over medium-high heat just until warmed (2–3 minutes).

4

Whisk eggs in a bowl. Remove pan from heat, return zucchini, mushrooms and pork. Add the whisked eggs and toss quickly so eggs thicken from residual heat into a silky sauce.

5

Finish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
