Zucchini Noodles 'Alfredo'






Ingredients per portion:

2 zucchinis
1 Tbsp cream cheese
3 Tbsp evaporated 2 % milk

1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder


What next:
  1. Wash the zucchinis thoroughly
  2. Cut the zucchinis into noodles *)
  3. Put the noodles in a bowl and sprinkle them with salt. Let it rest for 30 mins. This will pull out some water and keep the end result from being too soggy.
  4. Heat a frying pan to medium temperature and add the remaining ingredients.
  5. Once everything is nicely melted together, increase heat a little and let everything boil together for about 30 sec. The sauce will be thickening.
  6. Put the zucchini noodles into the sauce in the frying pan and mix everything together. If you like your noodles with more bite, then they are ready to be eaten now. If you like them softer, let them keep cooking for a few more minutes.
    They will let some water, which makes the sauce very liquid and less sticking to the noodles. You can increase the heat to full and let it boil down quickly to evaporate the access water. Once you like the overall composition, they are ready to go.
  7. Enjoy!

*) I use a "World Cuisine Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer" but you can also use a regular mandoline slicer or simply cut ribbon like noodles with a sharp knife.
