Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchinis
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 tablespoon of flour
  • 1/2 cup of milk and a bit extra if needed for consistency
  • 4 oz of parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • A few parmesan shavings for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Start by turning your zucchini into noodles, whether using a Veggetti or a peeler. If using a peeler, cut the strands into thinner strands, approx. the size of fettuccine.
  • Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter on medium-high heat.
  • Add the garlic, and simmer until fragrant but not browned.
  • Sprinkle in the flour, and whisk until a roux is formed.
  • Once a roux is formed, add the milk.
  • Bring the heat up slightly, and stir the milk as it heats up. You want it to thicken.
  • Once the milk has thickened a bit, bring down the heat to moderate and add the cheese.
  • Stir until the cheese is completely melted.
  • Add sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
  • Carefully place the zucchini noodles into the skillet and toss to coat. Allow to simmer for approx 3-4 minutes to tenderize the zucchini.
  • Plate, and garnish with shaved parmesan.

Notes

If you add the cheese and the sauce it too thick, add a splash of milk and stir. Keep doing this until you reach the consistency you are looking for.
Also, don't overcook the zucchini - it can go mushy fast! Keep a close eye on it.
