I love using a spiralizer. It is one of my favorite kitchen tools as it is easy to use (like a pencil sharpener), dishwasher safe, easy to store and inexpensive! What is especially fun about this recipe for lemon garlic zucchini noodles is the dish tastes decadent (though low in calories) and is easy to make. Dave and I end up eating the equivalent of a whole zucchini each as our side dish without even knowing it! And you can use the spiralizer for potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, apples, parsnips, and beet roots (just to name a few). What a great way to get your veggies for dinner
Spiralize the two zucchinis and set aside. In a small sauce pan over low heat, add the garlic and oil. Cook until garlic is soft. Squeeze and mix juice of one half lemon and the parsley into the pan. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat. In a separate larger pan over medium high heat, add zucchini noodles and cook until just tender.
Stir occasionally to be sure noodles cook evenly. Drain any water produced from the pan. Add the sauce and toss until noodles are coated. Squeeze remaining half of lemon over noodles. Serve immediately. Good for two people as a side dish!
