Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic (minced or ran through a press)
  • 1-2 zucchini (spiralized, to taste*)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup marinara sauce (*)
  • 2-3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese (to taste)
  • kosher salt (to taste)
  • Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • pecans (roughly chopped to taste)
  • fresh basil (ribboned)
  • black pepper (freshly ground)

Instruction

  • Heat up olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add in garlic. Sauté for a minute or two until lightly golden. Add in zoodles and cook until lightly softened (but not fully overcooked), 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander and allow to drain while you prepare the sauce. Remove any liquid from the pan.  
  • Heat up a touch more olive oil in the pan. Add marinara sauce and mix-in mascarpone cheese, seasoning to taste. Add back in the zoodles and mix around to coat. 
  • Serve right away with freshly grated Parmesan, pecans, basil and black pepper.
