- pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 medium sized zucchini- spiralized with blade C
- cracked black peppercorns
- 1⁄4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Directions
Heat large skillet over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking spray. When a bit of water flicked onto the skillet sizzles, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Drain the Bacon on a paper towel- lined plate.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, still over medium heat, and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the zucchini noodles and cook, tossing, for 2-3 minutes or until the zucchini noodles are al dente. Generously season with pepper and add the cheeses, tossing to combine thoroughly until the noodles are coated with cheese.
Divide between two bowls, topping each serving with more pepper and Parmigiano cheese, as desired. Crumble the bacon on top and serve.
