Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 whole garlic cloves, minced
- 200 grams white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini to create 'zoodles'. Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess moisture.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until butter is melted.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are browned and tender.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow to cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, continuing to cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the zoodles to the skillet and toss them gently with the sauce until they are well coated and heated through, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting low-carb mushroom cream pasta.
