These garlic parmesan zucchini noodles are a light, flavorful, and low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. Tender-crisp zucchini is tossed with garlic, butter, and parmesan for a savory, satisfying dish that’s ready in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini (spiralized into noodles)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Spiralize zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add zucchini noodles, tossing gently for 2–3 minutes until just tender but not mushy.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Remove from heat and toss with grated parmesan cheese.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.

Notes

  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice or cherry tomatoes for extra freshness.
  • Top with grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon for a complete meal.
  • For a creamier version, stir in a splash of heavy cream or cream cheese with the parmesan.
  • Don’t overcook zucchini noodles to avoid sogginess.
