Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter divided
  • 3-4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 white onion small
  • 1 340 g package of fresh zucchini noodles 340 grams, drained
  • 2 ripe avocados small
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup chicken bone broth or chicken broth
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese plus additional for topping

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 tbsp of butter to a large skillet pan. Heat over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, chop the prosciutto into small slices. Add to the heated pan, and cook until crispy, but not burned.
  • Remove the prosciutto from the skillet, and set aside. Add the other tbsp of butter to the skillet. Dice the onion, and add to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent, and slightly caramelized.
  • While the onion is cooking, cut the avocados, and add both to a large glass bowl. Use a fork to smash the avocado. Add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chicken bone broth. Mix well. The avocado sauce should be thick like a batter.
  • Drain the zucchini noodles well. The best way to cook the zucchini is in a skillet. Add the drained zucchini noodles to the skillet with the onions. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until zucchini is warmed through. After cooking the Zoodles, add the avocado sauce to the skillet, as well as the ¼ cup of shredded parmesan cheese. Mix well, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the mixture is warm.
  • Serve the cooked Zoodles immediately, and top each bowl with the crispy prosciutto, and additional parmesan cheese.

Notes

Note: Add fresh garlic, and cayenne pepper sauce for a little extra spice. Or add Sundried tomatoes for an extra savoury flavour
