  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped

Preparation
  1. Spiralize the zucchini into noodles, or use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons.

  3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until they are tender-crisp.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in the fresh basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end or sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
