Garlic Parmesan White Wine Zoodles

Today I finally bought a spiralizer, it's been on my to do list for ages so I was so excited to try it out for dinner tonight. It's also national garlic day so I couldn't help but want to try making a new garlic sauce to use as the topping. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy the zucchini turned into noodles and even twirled like spaghetti while I ate it. The sauce was yummy and tasted great with the zoodles. You could leave out the mushroom and herb topping if those aren't for you. 

Ingredients for the sauce:

• 4 tsp garlic paste
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2-3 tbsp flour
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Noodles & Toppings:

• 2 zucchini 
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 mushrooms
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Optional - herb garnish, I used parsley. 

Recipe makes 2 servings. 

Directions:

• Follow the instructions on your spiralizer or zoodle maker in order to get 2 zucchinis worth. 
• Cut the zoodles a few times so they aren't in really long strings, sprinkle the tsp of salt on them and set aside. 

• Sauté mushrooms in the olive oil until fully cooked and set aside, separate out the garlic & mushrooms. 
• Start boiling a pot of water - we will use this to cook the zoodles after we finish the sauce. 

• • In a small to medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add in flour and garlic paste and whisk the whole mixture into a pasty substance. 
  • Add in milk and wine and bring to a boil, continuing to whisk. Boil and stir about a minute. 
  • Reduce heat to low, continuing to stir. Add in your cheese and continue to stir until fully combined. 
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a little more flour or cheese at this point until you get consistency and taste desired. 

• Add zoodles to boiling water and boil for 1-2 minutes. Drain and immediately rinse with cool water to keep zoodles from getting soggy. Drain water and pat dry with a paper towel, once again to avoid sogginess. 
• Pour sauce and mushrooms over zoodles, add herb topping for garnish if desired. You may have excess sauce, just add as much as desired. 
  
• Salt & pepper to taste and serve up!  

Enjoy!
