Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Instructions
Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, cut the zucchini into noodles and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and add them to the skillet along with the broccoli florets. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, and bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Gently stir in the zucchini noodles, making sure they are well coated in the cheesy sauce. Cook for additional 2-3 minutes until the zucchini noodles are tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped basil leaves before serving.
Serve the cheesy vegetable pasta immediately, and enjoy a delightful low-carb meal.
