In this post, we’ll cook zucchini noodles with mushrooms. No fancy cooking skills needed—just straightforward recipe with easy steps to follow.
I cannot eat pasta. Not only because it has a gazillion of carbs lol, but flour really bothers my stomach. I am not sure whether I have gluten intolerance or something else.
In any event, zucchini noodles are an amazing pasta replacement. Add mushrooms, cheese or anything else to your liking and you got yourself a delicious meal.
Zucchini Noodles with Mushrooms and Parmesan cheese
Ingredients:
- 3 zucchinis
- 1 quart of mushrooms, cut in large chunks
- 2 pieces of garlic, finely chopped
- 2-3 table spoon of thinly chopped white onion
- Parmesan cheese – the more, the better in my opinion, shredded
- Olive oil
- Spices, salt, pepper
- 1 tea spoon of red wine vinegar
Shred zucchinis into spirals using spiralizer. There are many types of zucchini noodle makers, some are simple, some are fancy. Check out amazon.com
Instructions:
- Add some olive oil to large frying pan, place zoodles there, add red wine vinegar and turn the burner on “high”. Keep on stirring for about 10-15 min.
- At the same time in the second frying pan put mushrooms, garlic, onion, add some olive oil and about 2 table spoons of water, turn on “high” and keep stirring until all liquid is evaporated.
- I always use rock frying pans as I find that nothing sticks to them and only minimum amount of oil is required.
- Transfer mushrooms to zoodles, add spices, salt, pepper to your liking. Serve with LOTS of parmesan cheese :).
