Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by spiralizing or julienne slicing the medium-sized zucchini until you have a plentiful pile of zoodles. Set aside to absorb excess moisture.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the zucchini noodles and 4 cups of spinach to the skillet with the garlic, tossing gently for about 30 seconds until the spinach wilts.
  4. Continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles soften while maintaining a firm texture.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of Parmesan cheese until it melts and coats the noodles and spinach.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For best results, store leftover noodles separate from other ingredients. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
