A delightful low-carb dish featuring zucchini noodles in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Spiralize the zucchini into noodle-like strands.
If you don't have a spiralizer, use a julienne peeler or a knife to create thin strips.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the zucchini to prevent sticking.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Avoid overcooking to maintain a firm texture.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the cream cheese and grated Parmesan, mixing until the sauce is smooth and coats the noodles.
Add a splash of water or broth if the sauce is too thick.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
Garnish with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
