Description
Tender zucchini noodles tossed in a creamy Parmesan Alfredo sauce made with cream cheese and sour cream for a quick, low-carb alternative to pasta that’s ready in under 25 minutes.
Ingredients
1 lb zucchini
1 tbsp olive oil
1 oz cream cheese, cubed and softened
1 tbsp sour cream
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Spiralize zucchini into noodles and gently pat dry to remove excess moisture. No need to peel, but remove long strips of skin if desired.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until sauce melts and evenly coats the zucchini, about 5 minutes more.
- Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Add garlic or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Mix in grilled chicken, shrimp, or fish for added protein.
- Combine with other spiralized vegetables like yellow squash or carrots for variety.
- Double the sauce for an even creamier version.
