Instructions
Prepare the zucchini by spiralizing it into noodles using a spiralizer or slicing it thinly to resemble fettuccine.

Sauté the mushrooms until they are golden and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream.
Simmer gently and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy, approximately 3 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes.
In another skillet, heat the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
Transfer the zucchini noodles to the skillet with the mushroom sauce and toss to combine well.
