Talharim de Brócolis is a delicious Brazilian dish that features zucchini noodles tossed with a creamy broccoli sauce, perfect for a Keto diet. This flavorful pasta alternative is not only low in carbs but also packed with nutrients and vibrant colors.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium-sized
• Broccoli florets - 200 grams
• Heavy cream - 120 ml
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Red pepper flakes - a pinch (optional)

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles and set aside.
2. In a pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the broccoli florets. Blanch for 3 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.
3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4. Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and stir for another minute. Then, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the creamy broccoli sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
