Zucchini noodles are a wonderful way to enjoy a lighter meal without sacrificing flavor. They have a lovely texture and soak up whatever seasonings you choose to add to the pan.

I love making these because they cook in just a few minutes. If you have extra garden zucchini, this is the best way to put it to good use for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to cut the zucchini into long, thin noodle shapes.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and sprinkle them with the Italian seasoning.

  4. 4

    Sauté the noodles for about 3 to 5 minutes while tossing them gently with tongs until they are just tender.

  5. 5

    Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter if you want a little extra richness.

  6. 6

    Season with salt and pepper to your liking and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Serve these noodles immediately while they are hot for the best texture. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for one day, but be aware they will get softer. These are perfect topped with marinara sauce or some grated parmesan cheese.
