Ingredients

2 medium zucchini spiraled

Sauce

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 clove garlic minced
3 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Slice the ends off the zucchini and place it on your spiralizer. Turn the spiralizer until zucchini noodles are formed.
In a saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add your zucchini noodles and saute for just 1 minute. Set them aside.
In the same saute pan you used to cook your zucchini noodles, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the softened cream cheese and whisk constantly until it is a smooth consistency. It will look lumpy at first, but don't worry. If you keep whisking it will get smooth.
Add the milk slowly while whisking until it is incorporated. Add the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will get. Remove from heat, and add your zucchini noodles. Stir to combined. Serve warm and enjoy!
