Garlicky Zucchini Noodles


Published: Friday, July 21, 2017

2 medium zucchini (about 10 oz. each), trimmed

3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided

6 cloves garlic, smashed, peeled and halved lengthwise

½ c. walnut pieces

½ tsp. kosher salt

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper

4 thin slices prosciutto or pancetta, torn

1 medium tart green apple, cored and thinly sliced

4 oz. soft goat cheese

 Use a spiral vegetable slicer to cut noodles into long thin strands (or use a vegetable peeler to cut into ribbons). Use kitchen scissors to cut through the strands to make them easier to serve.

Heat 2 Tbsp. of the oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until softened and just starting to brown.

Add zucchini; cook and toss with tongs for 1 minute. Transfer to a serving bowl. Add walnuts to skillet. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until toasted. Add to bowl with zucchini. Add salt and crushed red pepper; toss to coat.

Add remaining oil to skillet. Add prosciutto and cook 1 minute or until browned and crisp, turning once. Add to zucchini mixture along with apple. Toss to combine. Top with pieces of goat cheese. —6 servings.
