Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 medium zucchinis (unpeeled, ends trimmed (total weight 14 oz, 400g))
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Instruction

  • Using a sharp chef's knife, slice each zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices, as thin as you can. Slice each of those slices into thin, noodle-like strands. Don't worry about it if your slices aren't even.
  • Alternatively, make your life easy and buy packaged zucchini noodles at the grocery store. I get mine at Whole Foods.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When melted and foamy, add the noodles. Cook, stirring often, until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 more minute. Turn the heat off.
  • Add the kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and parmesan. Mix and serve.
