Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis. Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set them aside.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley. Set aside for later use.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter, allowing it to melt. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine with the garlic and butter.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly with the Alfredo sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the zoodles are tender but still slightly crisp (al dente).
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Zucchini Alfredo!
