Cooking Time
30 minutes
Serves
1 person
Ingredients
2 medium zucchinis
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
½ cup tomato sauce (natural) or light pesto sauce
A pinch of salt
A pinch of black pepper
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Preparation Method
Cut the zucchini into spaghetti-like strands using a spiralizer or vegetable slicer.
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato or pesto sauce and stir for 3 minutes.
Add the zucchini spaghetti to the sauce and toss gently for 3–5 minutes until slightly tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent it from becoming watery.
Season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
