Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Zucchini (medium-sized)
- 3 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create zucchini noodles (zoodles) from the zucchini. Set the zoodles aside and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still firm (al dente). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy whipping cream and cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
