Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Trim the zucchini ends and use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler to create thin strips.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Remove from heat and set aside in a large bowl.
Step 3
In the same frying pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the heavy cream to the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the cream cheese and whisk until fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Stir in Parmesan cheese and continue to stir until it's completely melted and the sauce thickens.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg for added depth of flavor.
Step 7
Add the cooked zucchini noodles back to the pan and toss them gently in the sauce until they are well coated.
Step 8
Serve the creamy pasta topped with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
