I love zucchini noodles and I eat them all the time. To be honest, I make my family pasta and I eat the zoodles (zucchini noodles ) as I haven’t won them over yet. Anyway, I was in the mood for a good creamy sauce for my zucchini noodles when I remembered that many low carb recipes use cream cheese to make sauces and though I’d give it a try. I had some fresh basil and sun dried tomatoes that I had frozen and I whipped up these creamy sun dried tomato & basil zucchini noodles and in just 15 minutes!
How To Make Zucchini Noodles
This is a quick post today. If you are familiar with zucchini noodles just make them how you always do. I have a spiralizer and hand peeler that makes veggie noodles. A spiralizer makes veggie noodles very easy but you can always use a regular potato peeler and just make wider noodles. But if you have a spiralizer, you want to make a thicker spaghetti sized noodle.
Tomato & Basil Zucchini Noodles Recipe
- Make your zucchini noodles and microwave them for 2 minutes.
- In the meantime, add your olive oil and garlic to a saute pan and cook for a minute.
- Next add your cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, spices and cream and stir until everything is melted and blended well.
- Finally add your zoodles and cook for a minute longer and you are done.
Doesn’t that look a big pate of tasty creamy pasta? Almost as good as the real thing. I love it and I hope you do to. Enjoy! For nutritional information, please scroll down to the end of this post.

I love my spiralizer!! Have been addicted to zoodles dishes recently. This looks so creamy and delish.
Denise says
I love mine too…..I like vegetables a lot to begin with but they are even better when spiralized. 🙂
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way says
We have to zoodle makers — one we keep at home and then a small one we travel with. Yep!! We love zoodles that much and we do eat pasta too. Zoodles are good on those “off” days when we want a lighter meal. I am definitely trying your sauce.
Denise says
How great that you take it traveling!
Michelle says

Jolina says
I can’t believe this only takes 15 minutes! We’ve been on the fence about buying a spiralizer, but I think this recipe alone warrants one. It looks soooo delicious!
Denise says
I love my spiralizer. It’s funny but the shape and cut of a vegetable does give it a different taste.
Gloria @ Homemade & Yummy says
I totally love my zoodle maker. The perfect way to get back to healthy eating. Something that I will be doing as soon as the holidays are done.
Denise says
Me too Gloria! I’ve been waking up everyday with a headache from too much sugar.
