Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchini into zoodles (zucchini noodles). Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, mixing well until the cheese is melted and the sauce has a creamy consistency.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat them thoroughly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the zoodles are tender but still have a slight bite.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting taste of this Keto Classic Tomato Pasta.
