Whip up this Single Serving Low-Carb Zucchini Noodles with Creamy Garlic-Parmesan Roasted Red Pepper Sauce in 20 minutes when you’re craving a lighter, but every bit as satisfying, version of pasta!
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ small onion, diced
  • 1 large clove garlic, crushed
  • ½ cup (120 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 oz (60 g) cream cheese
  • 1 oz (30 g) Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon minced roasted red pepper (I used store-bought)
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
Optional Garnishes:
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (recommended)
  • Additional grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
  1. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook until softened, but not browned, about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Whisk in the broth and bring to a simmer, and then whisk in the cream cheese until smooth. Let it cook a few minutes until thickened slightly and then whisk in the Parmesan until smooth. Whisk in the roasted red pepper and black pepper.
  2. Place the raw zucchini noodles in a bowl, pour the sauce on top, and serve immediately with any garnishes you like.
