Zucchini Noodles with Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Spiralized zucchini cooked briefly in garlic and chili olive oil with sun-dried tomatoes, then finished with Parmesan and fresh basil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine.
  4. Add the zucchini noodles and toss gently in the oil.
  5. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the zucchini is tender but still firm.
  6. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan.
  8. Divide among plates and garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

Adjust the red pepper flakes to your taste. A tablespoon of ricotta stirred in makes it creamier, and grilled chicken or shrimp on top makes it heartier.
