Swap out the pasta for fresh zucchini noodles and add garlic and Parmesan for Garlic Parmesan Zoodles, an easy and delicious side dish or light dinner that's ready in less than 15 minutes!
Add zoodles to a colander in the sink or over a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tsp of kosher salt. Let sit for 15-30 minutes to sweat. Then use a paper towel to squeeze out any excess liquid.
In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes, careful to not burn.
Add zoodles, salt and pepper and saute for 3-5 minutes until zoodles are soft, turning often with tongs.
Add Parmesan cheese and mix well. Serve immediately and top with more Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
Have your tongs ready to turn those zoodles while they cook. Add some additional veggies! Like onion, peas, diced tomatoes, or even some spinach.Add a protein! Diced chicken or shrimp would be delicious.
