A keto take on carbonara using zucchini noodles and roasted pork belly for richness without processed ingredients — egg yolk binds into a silky sauce.

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

Ingredients
  • 3 mediums zucchini (spiralized)
  • 8 ozs uncured pork belly, skin removed if desired
  • 2 larges egg yolks
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • To taste sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roast pork belly pieces on a rack until fat renders and edges crisp, about 30–40 minutes depending on thickness. Let rest and chop.

2

Lightly sweat garlic in the pork's rendered fat in a skillet over medium heat (use fat from pork, no added oil). Add zucchini noodles and toss until just warm, 2–3 minutes.

3

Remove from heat, quickly toss with egg yolks to create a silky coating, fold in chopped pork belly, season and serve immediately.

4

Note: ensure noodles are hot enough to slightly cook yolks but work quickly to avoid scrambling.
