Aubergine and Bacon Alfredo

Aubergine and Bacon Alfredo

30 MINUTES
This low-carb and ketogenic Aubergine and Bacon Alfredo recipe is a delicious twist on a classic Italian pasta dish. Instead of traditional noodles, tender slices of aubergine are used as the base of the dish. The aubergine is grilled until it's slightly smoky and charred, adding depth of flavour to the creamy alfredo sauce. Crispy bacon is added for a salty, savoury crunch that pairs perfectly with the rich and indulgent sauce. This dish is satisfying and filling without any of the guilt or heaviness of a traditional pasta dish. Perfect for a cosy night in or as a sophisticated and impressive dinner party dish.
