Ingredients
Vegetables
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 cups packed spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Dairy & Fats
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles, then set them aside.
- Sauté Garlic: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the skillet, then add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Cook Noodles and Spinach: Add the zucchini noodles and packed spinach to the skillet. Gently toss and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and noodles are just tender, being careful not to overcook to avoid sogginess.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Stir in 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and toss well so the zucchini noodles are evenly coated with the cheese.
- Season and Serve: Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcook the zucchini noodles and spinach to prevent sogginess and maintain texture.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor.
- You can substitute butter with olive oil for a slightly lighter version.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
