Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pear tomatoes
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups Asiago cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the pear tomatoes. Slice any large tomatoes in half, leaving smaller ones whole.
Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into long, thin ribbons. Discard the seedy core.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the pear tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the zucchini ribbons, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, gently tossing until the zucchini is just tender but still vibrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the warm mixture to a serving dish.
Top the salad with freshly grated Asiago cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
