Instructions
Spiralize the zucchini (or use a julienne peeler). Lay the noodles on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt to draw out moisture. Let sit 5 minutes, then pat dry.
Tip: Removing excess moisture prevents the dish from getting watery. This step makes all the difference.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the asparagus and yellow squash for 3 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes and cook 1 minute more. Remove vegetables to a plate.
Add remaining olive oil and garlic to the skillet. Cook 30 seconds, then add the zucchini noodles. Toss for 2 minutes until just tender (don't overcook).
Return the vegetables to the skillet. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan. Toss to combine.
Plate immediately, garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan.
