Zoodles Primavera
Serves 4
Spiralized Zucchini are termed Zoodles; i.e. Zucchni Noodles.
If you do not have a spiralizer, Google the name - several will show up.
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons butter, salted or unsalted 1 Tablespoon olive oil 2 zucchini, spiralized into zoodles 1 carrot, peeled and sliced into thin long strips 1 yellow bell pepper, cored and sliced into thin long strips 1 large clove garlic, minced 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish 2 teaspoons kosher salt, unless you used salted butter then omit here 10 grape tomatoes, halved dried red pepper flakes, optional 2 Tablespoons of low sodium vegetable broth 1/4 cup white wine or white cooking wine grated Parmesan, optional
Instructions:
1. Add the butter to a saute pan set over medium heat and drizzle in the oil.
2. Once the butter has melted, add the zoodles, carrot, bell pepper, garlic, 2 tablespoons of parsley, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt to the pan. Stir to coat. Cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes or until the zoodles have a "slippery look".
3. Add the tomatoes and red pepper flakes, if using. Pour in the broth and white wine. Add the remaining teaspoon of kosher salt. Simmer, stirring often. for another 5-7 minutes or until the dish has come together and the liquid is mostly cooked out.
4. Sprinkle a dash of the remaining parsley onto each pile of plated primavera noodles, as well as Parmesan, if using.

Some changes I made ...
I used:
Salted butter, so I didn't add any additional salt while cooking the dish.
Matchstick carrots. They're a little long for our tastes so I used a handful and cut them into smaller pieces.
An orange bell pepper. Green, red, yellow, orange - whatever color bell pepper you have on hand or prefer will work fine. Put in as much of the bell pepper as suits your tastes & visual preferences. Using an entire pepper is fine, but not necessary.
Jarred minced garlic. It's the easy way out ... and when you're cooking, a great motto is: Make It Easy On Yourself; you'll enjoy the cooking more that way. ;)
1-2 Tablespoons of Mrs. Dash Italian Seasoning instead of chopping and including parsley.
1 Roma tomato, sliced, seeded, and chopped instead of grape tomatoes. Use cherry tomatoes if you like; cut them in half.
Medium Asiago cheese, grated. Romano would work well too ... whatever you prefer and/or have on hand.
Note: This makes a good meatless entree also.
