Paleo "Carbonara" Pasta

I've been unable to write as I once did since new medication the last  months so I am just posting the wonderful recipes I find around and modify. 

Paleo Pasta "Carbonara" 
1/4 c black bean pasta
1 zucchini (spiralized) 
1 egg 
1-2 pc organic turkey bacon or sugar free nitrite free "bacon"
1 tbsp sugar free tomato sauce or homemade 
Himalayan salt and pepper to taste 

Tools:
1 pan 
1 $4 spiralizer 
1 bowl

Directions: 
  1. Cook "bacon" until cooked to your liking. 
  2. Meanwhile, bring a small pan of water to the boil with coarse salt, add black bean spaghetti and zucchini pasta strips and cook for 3-4 mins. (Til al dente or texture your liking.) 
  3. Crack 1 egg into a bowl and whisk.
  4. Add salt, pepper, and parsley, etc reserve some for decoration if you like. 
  5. Drain the "spaghetti" (black bean/zucchini) and return them to the same cooking pot.
  6. Add in egg mix slowly and cooked bacon to the spaghetti and turning heat to high.
  7. Stir all together frequently and cook for 1-2mins to pasturize the eggs (don't over cook it or you'll end up with scrambled eggs instead of a creamy sauce).
  8. transfer to a serving plate and decorate with remaining and parsley if desired.
  9. Serve immediately.
