Instructions

1

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.

2

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.

3

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).

4

Return the vegetables to the skillet. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan. Toss to combine.

5

Plate immediately, garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan.
