Garlicly Spinach Zucchini Noodles
Today I had a recipe pop up on my Pinterest alert that peaked my interest, but like any good recipe, I have to make it my own.
Ingredients:
3 Med or 4 smaller zucchini, spiral cut into noodles
1/2 Med red onion, thin sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small package frozen spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
1 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Tbsp Butter
1-2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste
Prep all the vegetables so they are ready to go it the pan at the right moment.
Preheat a large 12" nonstick skillet to medium or a little more depending on your stove, you don't want it too hot, but if you cook the noodles to slowly, they will get too mushy.
Start with warming the oil in the skillet, adding onions and stir around to start the softening process, add garlic and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Add noodles and spinach, season with salt and pepper and continue to toss for 4-5 minutes,breaking up an clumps of spinach. Once the noodles begin to soften, add butter and vinegar and simmer for another minute to make a silky sauce to coat the noodles.
Dish it up with your favorite cut of meat and you have a great dinner, tonight we had it with kabobs I picked up from the local market.
Alternative: to jazz it up a bit, add crumbles bacon at the end too!
I know I will be making this one again.
