Zucchini pasta with parmesan and sauce is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the rich flavors of traditional pasta sauce with the lightness of spiralized zucchini. This low-carb alternative to classic pasta is perfect for those looking to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal.
- Use a spiralizer to create uniform zucchini noodles, also known as 'zoodles'.
- After spiralizing, lightly salt the zoodles and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry before cooking.
- Don't overcook the zoodles; they should be heated through but still slightly firm to avoid becoming mushy.
- Add the parmesan cheese just before serving to maintain its texture and flavor.
- For added flavor, consider sautéing some garlic and onions before adding the pasta sauce to the pan.
