Zucchini Noodle Alfredo: A Light, Creamy Twist
There’s something magical about zucchini noodles (zoodles) swirled in a rich, creamy Alfredo sauce—a perfect blend of healthy and indulgent. This dish swaps heavy pasta for fresh, spiralized zucchini, making it a guilt-free delight. The Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater transforms zucchini into perfect noodles with its versatile blades, adding a fun and efficient twist to your kitchen routine. Let’s whip up this delicious recipe!
Ingredients
4 medium zucchinis
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove, minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prep the Zucchini Noodles
Wash the zucchinis and trim the ends. Attach the Spiralizing Attachment to your cheese grater hand crank and secure it with the suction base for stability. Feed the zucchinis into the hopper and turn the handle to create long, thin noodles. Set aside—don’t overcook them later to keep the crunch!
2. Make the Alfredo Sauce
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add salt and pepper, then gradually stir in the grated Parmesan until the sauce thickens into a creamy consistency.
3. Cook the Zoodles
In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes, just until tender—overcooking makes them mushy. Avoid adding water; let them release natural moisture.
4. Combine and Serve
Toss the sautéed zoodles with the Alfredo sauce in the skillet, coating evenly. Transfer to plates, garnish with chopped basil, and serve warm. Pair with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Tips and Variations
Cheese Swap: Use Pecorino Romano (grated with Geedel’s 2-Blade Set) for a sharper flavor.
Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier dish.
Spicy Twist: Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a kick.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days—reheat gently to avoid sogginess.
Conclusion
This Zucchini Noodle Alfredo is a delightful fusion of light veggies and creamy comfort, made simple with the cheese shredder.
