Ingredients:
5 Large |
Zucchini (about 2 ½ lbs.) |
¾ Cup |
Half-and-half or light cream |
1 tsp. |
Salt |
½ Cup |
Parmesan Cheese, finely shredded |
2 to 3 |
Garlic Cloves, minced |
|
Black Pepper, coarsely ground |
2 Tbsp. |
Olive Oil |
|
Nutmeg, ground |
8 oz. |
Cream Cheese, cubed & softened |
|
Parmesan Cheese, finely shredded |
Directions:
- Cut zucchini in half crosswise. Cut lengthwise into ¼-inch slices, and then lengthwise into long, thin strips about ¼-inch wide (resembling strips of fettuccine). You should have about 8 cups. In a large colander toss the zucchini with the salt. Allow to drain for 1 hour. Rinse and drain. Pat dry.
- In a 12-inch skillet cook the zucchini and garlic in hot oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Transfer mixture from skillet to a large bowl.
In the skillet heat the cream cheese and half-and-half over medium-low heat until smooth. Stir in the ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Stir in zucchini; heat through. Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with pepper, nutmeg, and additional Parmesan cheese.
