Zoodles Alfredo For One

Last week, I found one of those vegetable spiral slicers at the grocery store. It was on sale for $3.50, so I tossed it in my cart. I bought three zucchini with NO expectations because they are after all zucchini. Unless they’re fried and coated with cheese, why bother?

I washed and spiraled my zucchini then sauteed them in butter. Thanks to my failed adventures in Keto, I still had some heavy whipping cream and Parmesan cheese in the fridge. I added a splash of each and let them melt together. The results were delicious. The recipe serves one, which lets me eat what I like and gives my family the freedom to eat what they choose – another example of recovery tools at work. Plus, they taste like pasta but are good for you.

Zoodles For One

1 Zucchini
2 Tablespoons of butter
3 Tablespoons of heavy whipping cream
3 Tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese

Wash zucchini and remove ends. Melt butter in skillet. While the skillet is heating, place zucchini in the spiralizer, (I bought mine at Aldi’s) and twirl. Add zoodles to hot skillet. Saute for about five minutes. Once zoodles reach your version of done-ness, add cream and cheese to skillet. Stir to incorporate and melt. Remove from heat and enjoy.

Why For One?

Because as a recovering codependent, I’m extracting myself from enmeshed relationships. This week, in my recovery, I tackled the diet rules in my head. You can read about that adventure here.
