Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 large zucchinis ends removed
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 shallots diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 4 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • To spiralize your zucchini, first cut each end off your zucchini and attach to your spiralizer so that it is secure. Start turning and watch the magic happen!
  • Set your zucchini noodles aside on paper towels so that the water is soaked up.
  • In a large skillet on medium-high heat, drizzle a little olive oil and saute the shallots and garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, half and half, lemon juice and zest, red pepper flakes and salt/pepper.
  • Bring to a boil then cover and turn down heat to low allowing the sauce to simmer until it has reduced by almost half, about 15 minutes.
  • Toss your zucchini noodles in with your sauce and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how you like your noodles cooked (al dente is about 3 minutes cooked).
  • Remove from heat, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (1 tablespoon per serving) and enjoy!
