Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the zucchini thoroughly. Use a spiralizer to slice the zucchini into noodles. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley leaves finely. Grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for approximately 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat with butter. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm to maintain texture.
Step 5
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini noodles, followed by the salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until the cheese melts and coats the noodles evenly.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Step 7
Serve the low carb butter noodles immediately as a delicious side dish or a light main. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or parsley if desired.
