Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the zucchini. Place them on a paper towel and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 3-4 minutes, just until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
Season the cream sauce with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked zucchini noodles back into the skillet with the cream sauce. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
