Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium-sized red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon oregano (fresh or dried)
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, create zucchini noodles (zoodles) and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves and set both aside.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
Stir in the oregano, then add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the aromatics.
Step 6
Cook the zucchini noodles for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to overcook them; they should be slightly tender but still have a bite.
Step 7
Season the noodles with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Step 8
Transfer the zucchini pasta to serving plates or a large bowl. Top with crumbled feta cheese.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy!
