Lemon-garlic butternut squash noodles with parmesan cheese is a delightful, nutritious dish that combines the natural sweetness of butternut squash with the robust flavors of garlic, rosemary, and Parmesan cheese. This recipe is perfect for those who are on a low-carb diet or just looking for a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pasta.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Use a spiralizer to turn the butternut squash into noodles. Depending on your squash, you may need to peel and seed it first.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the butternut squash noodles to the skillet. Toss them to coat evenly with the butter and garlic.
- Sprinkle in the rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
- Once the noodles are cooked to your preferred texture, add the lemon juice. Toss to combine well, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the noodles and gently toss to combine. The heat from the noodles will help melt the cheese slightly, creating a nice, creamy coating.
- Transfer the lemon-garlic butternut squash noodles to serving plates.
- Optionally, garnish with additional grated parmesan and a little more black pepper or rosemary if desired.
Tips:
- Use a spiralizer to create long, pasta-like strands of butternut squash. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give you a better texture and flavor compared to pre-grated versions.
- Make sure not to overcook the squash noodles to retain their firm and slightly crunchy texture.
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
This vibrant and flavorful dish is a healthy and tasty alternative to traditional pasta that brings together the rich flavors of lemon, garlic, and parmesan cheese. Enjoy your meal accompanied by a fresh green salad or grilled chicken for a complete and satisfying dining experience.
