Creamy Lemon Zucchini Noodles with Tomatoes
YIELD: Makes 2 large servings / 4 side dish servings
INGREDIENTS:
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz. reduced-fat (Neufchatel) or regular cream cheese
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 medium zucchini, ends trimmed and peeled with a julienne peeler into “noodles”
1 heaping cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional
DIRECTIONS:
In a large nonstick skillet set to medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add cream cheese and lemon juice, stirring until cream cheese has melted into a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Add zucchini noodles, tossing to coat in sauce, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the zucchini noodles – They should be mostly soft but maintain a little crispness.
Top with cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
