Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons thinly sliced almonds
  • 2 small zucchini (made into noodles with spiralizer, or julienne into 1/8-inch matchsticks.)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Grated pecorino romano or parmesan cheese (optional)

Instruction

  • Add enough olive oil to coat the pan and heat over medium-high until the oil is hot but not smoking. Add the almonds to the pan.
  • Cook the almonds, stirring constantly until they are a golden-brown. About 1 to 2 minutes. Don't rush this step. The golden-brown almonds add the deep flavor to the dish.
  • Add the zucchini to the pan. Toss the noodles with the oil and almonds about 1 minute. You don't want to cook the zucchini, just warm them until they soften.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Place on plate and top with cheese, if desired. Eat immediately.
