Keto Sucuklu Makarna is a delicious Turkish-inspired pasta dish that substitutes traditional pasta with zucchini noodles, making it a perfect low-carb option. The combination of spicy sucuk and creamy sauce creates a satisfying and flavorful meal that is both authentic and keto-friendly.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium
• Sucuk (Turkish sausage) - 150 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchinis using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped sucuk. Cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and well combined. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
6. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are tender but still firm.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
