Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Trim the zucchini ends and use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler to create thin strips.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Remove from heat and set aside in a large bowl.
In the same frying pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream to the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the cream cheese and whisk until fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and continue to stir until it's completely melted and the sauce thickens.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg for added depth of flavor.
Add the cooked zucchini noodles back to the pan and toss them gently in the sauce until they are well coated.
Serve the creamy pasta topped with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
