Zucchini Zoodles
Ingredients
  • 6 zucchini
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons margarine
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Cut the zucchini into long, thin strips by slicing it in a continuous motion with a sharp knife or using a spiralizer to create noodle-like strands.
2
Transfer the zucchini strips to a colander and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt, allowing it to sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
3
Next, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Carefully add the zucchini strips to the boiling water, then cook for just 1 minute, or until they're slightly softened.
4
Immediately drain the zucchini and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
5
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini strips and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring constantly as they cook until just tender, approximately 5 minutes.
6
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle the cooked zucchini with Parmesan cheese for a delicious finishing touch.
