Ingredients
- 2 Zucchini, large
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 Bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups Spinach, fresh
- 0.5 cup Basil leaves, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by creating zucchini noodles. Using a spiralizer, spiralize the two large zucchinis into noodle-like strands. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it.
Step 3
Add the cherry tomatoes and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and the bell pepper is tender-crisp.
Step 4
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, which will take about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them gently with the vegetables to warm through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the fresh basil leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to combine and heat through.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnishing with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your fresh, veggie-packed keto pasta!
