Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cup fresh basil
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and trim off the ends.
Step 2
Using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler, transform the zucchini into long noodles resembling spaghetti.
Step 3
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the chopped garlic to the heated oil and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the garlic-infused oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened but still maintain a good bite.
Step 7
While the noodles are cooking, roughly chop the basil, parsley, and oregano leaves.
Step 8
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until they are slightly blistered.
Step 9
Add the chopped herbs to the skillet and toss well to distribute evenly among the noodles.
Step 10
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the noodles and gently mix to combine and slightly melt the cheese.
Step 11
Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Step 12
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional fresh herbs and a sprinkle of parmesan if desired.
