Kohlrabi Fettuccine Alfredo

Kohlrabi Fettuccine Alfredo is a creamy, low-carb alternative to traditional pasta, featuring tender kohlrabi noodles coated in a rich, velvety Alfredo sauce. This dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making it a satisfying meal without the extra carbs.

Ingredients

• Kohlrabi - 1 medium (about 300g)
• Heavy cream - 120 ml
• Unsalted butter - 30 g
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Parmesan cheese - 50 g, grated
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Peel the kohlrabi and use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create fettuccine-like noodles. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low.
4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Add the kohlrabi noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the Alfredo sauce. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the noodles are tender, but still have a slight crunch.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
