    🛒 Ingredients

    👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

    • Prep the Zoodles:

      • Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to turn the zucchini into noodles.

      • Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

    • Sauté the Tomatoes:

      • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

      • Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

      • Add halved tomatoes and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly blistered.

    • Cook the Zucchini Noodles:

      • Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss with the tomato mixture.

      • Sauté for 2–3 minutes, just until the noodles are tender but not soggy.

      • Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

    • Finish and Serve:

      • Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil.

      • Plate and garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired.

      • Serve immediately for best texture.

    💡 Pro Tips

    • Want extra protein? Add grilled shrimp, tofu, or rotisserie chicken.
    • For a heartier texture, toss in white beans or chickpeas.
    • Avoid overcooking the zucchini to prevent it from getting mushy.
