Dana’s Lemon Garlic Zucchini Noodles

*You can buy zucchini noodles at Reasors, Sprouts and Whole Foods, but I make my own with a $20 spiralizer from Amazon!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 Roma tomatoes diced and seeded OR 1 can of petite tomatoes drained (you can even get the Italian seasoned ones)
  • 1/2 large white onion finely diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • (Fresh basil if you want but not necessary)
  • 2 packages of zuchinni noodles or 4 small zuchinnis spiralized. It will look like a very large amount but it cooks down a lot.

You will want a large frying pan or a wok for this, if you make a full batch!

DIRECTIONS:

  • Sauté the onion and garlic in a pan – I use spray avocado oil
  • Add the zucchini noodles and tomatoes
  • Using tongs, sauté the noodles for a couple minutes. They cook fast!  You want them al dente, not soggy!
  • Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with shrimp or chicken based on your appropriate portion

1 medium zuchinni is 6c/2p/0f. 1/2 of a bowl of noodles is pretty close to the medium zucchini so I use that for tracking!
