Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by washing the zucchini thoroughly. Use a spiralizer to slice the zucchini into noodles. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley leaves finely. Grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for approximately 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat with butter. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm to maintain texture.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini noodles, followed by the salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until the cheese melts and coats the noodles evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve the low carb butter noodles immediately as a delicious side dish or a light main. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or parsley if desired.
