  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Zucchini: Spiralize the zucchinis into noodles and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

  5. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
