Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the zucchini noodles: Wash the zucchini and, using a spiralizer, create noodles from all four zucchini. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine with the butter and garlic.
Step 5
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and cream cheese to the skillet. Stir consistently until the cheeses have melted and the sauce becomes smooth.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
Step 7
Increase the heat to medium and add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the noodles are just tender but still have a slight bite (al dente texture).
Step 8
Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the pasta for garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately, dividing the pasta into four bowls. Optionally, top with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
