Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchini

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Fresh basil for garnish (because it’s pretty, and who doesn’t love pretty food?)
Instructions:
- Get your zucchini ready! Grab a spiralizer and make those zucchinis into noodle shapes. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons, but spiralized is way more fun—just saying!
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and let it sizzle for about a minute until it’s fragrant and dancing on the pan.
- Now, add those lovely zucchini noodles to the skillet and sauté them for about 3-4 minutes. You want them to be tender but still have a little crunch, kind of like a good joke just waiting for the punchline!
- Once the zucchini noodles look perfect, drizzle in the lemon juice and zest. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Your kitchen should now smell like a sunshiny day!
- Serve those noodles hot, topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and adorned with fresh basil leaves. Don’t forget to take a picture before you dive in—#FoodieGoals!
