Ingredients
  

For the Pasta

For the Vegetables
  • 2 Zucchini (spiralized) Yellow squash works as a substitute.
  • 2 Bell Peppers Any color, red and yellow preferred.
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Regular diced tomatoes can be used instead.
For the Sauce
  • ½ cup White Wine Can substitute with vegetable broth.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Consider using half-and-half or coconut cream.
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic Minced or use garlic powder.
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese Nutritional yeast for vegan alternative.

Equipment

  • Spiralizer
  • Skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by spiralizing the zucchini into long, noodle-like strands using a spiralizer. While you prepare the zucchini, chop the bell peppers and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add about 3-4 cloves of minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Introduce the prepared bell peppers and cherry tomatoes to the pan, stirring occasionally. Sauté these veggies for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Pour in ½ cup of white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, bringing the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Let it cook for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Gently fold the spiralized zucchini into the sauce, cooking them for just 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over your dish, stirring to combine. Remove the skillet from heat and top with ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
