Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchini
- kosher salt
- one clove of garlic
Directions:
- Using the julienne blade of a mandoline or a spiral vegetable slicer, slice zucchini lengthwise
into long, thin strands. Slice the zucchini just until you reach the seeds in the middle and then stop (the seeds will cause the noodles to fall apart). NOTE: If you don’t have a mandoline or a spiral slicer, you can either use a vegetable peeler or a knife.
- Separate the zucchini strands. Transfer zucchini strands to a colander set over a mixing bowl. Toss the zucchini strands with salt; let stand 15 minutes at room temperature.
- After 15 minutes, gently squeeze the zucchini strands to extract any excess water.
- Heat a skillet with the olive oil, then gently fry the zucchini with the garlic until slightly tender.
- Like with any other pasta add your favorite herbs and sauce and there! You are done.
