Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium Zucchini spiralized
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Spiralizer
  • Large Skillet
  • Tongs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spiralize the zucchini into noodles, ensuring they are not too thin to maintain a good texture.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for approximately 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, tossing frequently, until they are tender-crisp but not mushy.
  4. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped fresh basil, cooking for another minute to gently warm them through.
  5. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste, then serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

To prevent soggy zucchini noodles, avoid overcooking them; they should be slightly firm. For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
