Ingredients

• 4 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis. Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set them aside.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley. Set aside for later use.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter, allowing it to melt. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine with the garlic and butter.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 7

Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly with the Alfredo sauce. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the zoodles are tender but still slightly crisp (al dente).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Zucchini Alfredo!
