Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh parsley
2 tablespoons, finely chopped
Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup, grated
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
Salt
to taste
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Butter
2 tablespoons
Zucchini
4 medium-sized, spiralized

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer. Keep aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
  3. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté it for 1-2 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and releases its aroma.
  4. Next, add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss them in the garlic butter to coat evenly.
  5. Cook the zucchini noodles for 3-4 minutes. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch to them.
  6. Season the zucchini noodles with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the zucchini noodles with grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Finish with a generous garnish of freshly chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately while the noodles are still warm and the cheese is melty. Enjoy this healthy and satisfying meal!

Tips

  • 💡 For a vegan variant, substitute butter with olive oil and skip the Parmesan cheese.
  • 💡 Feel free to add in other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added flavor and texture.
  • 💡 To make the dish more filling, consider adding grilled chicken or shrimp.
