Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Zucchini, large
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 Bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups Spinach, fresh
- 0.5 cup Basil leaves, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Begin by creating zucchini noodles. Using a spiralizer, spiralize the two large zucchinis into noodle-like strands. Set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it.
Add the cherry tomatoes and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and the bell pepper is tender-crisp.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, which will take about 2 minutes.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them gently with the vegetables to warm through, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the fresh basil leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to combine and heat through.
Serve immediately, garnishing with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your fresh, veggie-packed keto pasta!
