Creamy Zucchini Spaghetti is a quick and healthy vegetarian pasta dish featuring spiralized zucchini and spaghetti tossed in a luscious, creamy sauce made from garlic, Parmesan, and a touch of cream cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups spiralized zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and garlic; cook, stirring, until zucchini is just tender, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in cream cheese and cook, stirring, until melted and smooth.
  4. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
  5. Stir in Parmesan, pepper, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
  6. Serve topped with fresh basil, if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Use gluten-free pasta if needed.
