Did you ever throw something together because you were hungry and wanted something tasty but didn’t have much time? Well that was me the other day. I was in the mood for some pasta but since I’m always trying to eat less “white stuff”, I came up with these lemon Parmesan zucchini noodles. I love zucchini noodles.

First of all they are good for you and secondly they take little time to make. In this case it took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. This was the perfect quick and healthy lunch for me.

Now if you are not one for zucchini noodles, regular pasta would be just as good if not better. Though I’m telling you this dish is really good. Luckily for me that this recipe also worked for our latest Ultimate Recipe Challenge which is PASTA! 

How to make zucchini noodles.

I love veggie noodles and have come to love my spiralizers. The one I used today was this Paderno Spiralizer. It makes nice thick noodles that work well with big vegetables because it leaves the core.

I used it in this Thai butternut squash post  too. I also have a julienne peeler that makes  thinner, straight noodles that I like for carrots and parsnips like in this crunchy Asian veggie noodle salad.

And lastly the first vegetable noodle maker I bought (similar to this one) which makes an nice angel hair like pasta. I used this in my Greek zucchini salad. All 3 would work for this dish and it only takes a minute or two to make the noodles. Now on to the cooking.

Lemon parmesan zucchini noodles in a nutshell.

This is a very simple recipe. All you do is sautee some garlic, grape tomatoes, lemon juice and zucchini noodles in olive oil for around 5 minutes.

Then you add some lemon zest and freshly grated parmesan cheese and mix well. That’s it. I also added some toasted pine nuts because I just love them but they are not essential to this dish.

The lemon zest in my opinion makes this dish. It gives such brightness to a dish that is delicious on it’s own.

Now if you are saying to yourself there is no way I’m eating a zucchini noodle or any other veggie noodle, that fine. Make this with regular pasta.

Quite frankly my son would never eat zucchini noodles…..yet. I’m still working on him. Make your pasta separately and toss it in after the tomatoes have cooked a few minutes.

Follow the rest of the recipe as instructed. I hope you give this a try and please let me know if you have any quick and easy veggie noodle recipes. I’d love to hear from you!

      Hi Jen, Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed the recipe. You should add it when you saute the tomatoes and garlic. Sorry about that!
