Instructions
- Begin by spiralizing the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler. Set aside.
- In a large pan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the garlic and cook for 1 2 minutes until fragrant. Be cautious not to burn the garlic.

Chef’s Insight
To ensure the perfect texture for the zucchini noodles, do not overcook them. They should be just tender to the bite.
