Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Zucchini noodles (zoodles)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing your zoodles. If using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles and set aside. Alternatively, you can purchase pre-made zoodles from the supermarket.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese, stirring until melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Continue stirring until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium and add the zoodles to the sauce. Toss gently to coat the zoodles thoroughly in the creamy sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the zoodles are heated through but still slightly firm (al dente).
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the creamy white sauce pasta to serving plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired, before serving.
