Directions Mock Fettuccine Alfredo
Directions
-
Slice zucchini into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler to create zucchini \"noodles\".
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, cook and stir zucchini until tender yet still with a little crunch, about 7 minutes. Season \"noodles\" with salt and pepper. Move \"noodles\" to a plate.
Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Slowly add flour and whisk constantly until mixture is light brown, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk while constantly whisking until a smooth sauce forms, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir cream cheese into sauce until melted, add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and whisk until blended. Pour sauce of \"noodles\" and top with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.
