- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup diced ham
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into noodles and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Add the diced ham to the creamy sauce and mix well.
Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
