Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Butter Zucchini Noodles.
Step 1
Begin by transforming fresh zucchini into delightful, noodle-like strips using a spiralizer or mandoline.
Step 2
Sprinkle the zucchini with two teaspoons of salt and let it rest in a colander for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Step 3
While the zucchini is draining, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.
Step 4
Once boiling, add the zucchini noodles and cook for just one minute.
Step 5
Quickly drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to halt the cooking process, preserving their vibrant color and crunch.
Step 6
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, then introduce the zucchini noodles along with minced garlic if you desire an aromatic touch.
Step 7
Sauté for about five minutes, stirring gently until the noodles are tender yet still have a slight bite.
Step 8
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 9
Just before serving, shower the warm zucchini noodles with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, adding a rich, savory finish to your dish.
Step 10
Enjoy this light and flavorful creation that celebrates the simplicity of fresh ingredients!.
