Zucchini Noodles With Garlicky Yogurt Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Zucchini slices: Cut 1 zucchini into ¼-inch rounds, place in a bowl, and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Heat a grill pan to medium-high; cook zucchini until there's a slight char on either side. Set aside.
• Zucchini "noodles": Trim the ends off the remaining zucchinis, cut them in half vertically, and use a spiralizer to make long ribbons, yielding 8 cups of zucchini "noodles." Set aside.
• Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, add remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic. Once the garlic is fragrant (about 1 minute), turn the heat to low. Add the labneh and water; stir slowly, incorporating everything thoroughly. Season with a few pinches of salt, and allow mixture to slowly cook. Chop herbs and set aside. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted, boiling water to al dente (should take less than 3 minutes). Drain and add to the sauce, along with the zucchini noodles and chopped herbs; salt to taste. Mix well so the zucchini noodles and pasta are evenly sauced.
• Assemble the dish: Add the zucchini and pasta noodles to a serving dish; arrange the grilled zucchini slices around the edge. Finish with lemon juice, a bit of salt, and a mint sprig or two. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425. Cover sheet pan with aluminum foil, place sliced peppers, onion and tomato on the pan and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper the vegetables and roast in oven for 30 minutes or until browned and soft. Place veggies in a bowl with a cover, or one to which plastic wrap will stick. Cover tightly for 5 minutes and then peel peppers and tomato. Chop into bite sized pieces, cover again and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook linguine in boiling, salted water according to package directions.
• In a colander, drain the zucchini, squeezing to remove excess liquid. In a large non-stick skillet, saute zucchini in remaining oil for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic; saute 1-2 minutes longer or until zucchini is tender. Remove from heat. Drain linguine; stir into zucchini.
• In a large bowl, stir the cooled vegetables and any collected juices with the yogurt, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Add pasta/zucchini to bowl with other ingredients and toss to coat. Add a bit of pasta water to thin sauce if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and a drizzle of finishing olive oil.

Steps:

• Toss zucchini noodles with salt in a large bowl. Spread out on a layer of paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then stir in flour. Add minced garlic and stir until garlic is fragrant and flour has thickened, about 1 minute.
• Slowly pour in cream and milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil and thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn heat to low, stir in grated Parmesan cheese, and keep stirring until cheese is melted.
• Blot zucchini noodles with more paper towels to soak up excess moisture and add zoodles to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and warm noodles in the sauce until desired tenderness, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Toss with sliced cherry tomatoes before serving and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, then add the chopped zucchini, dill, and rice. Cook and stir until the zucchini is softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the water, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the mixture cool to lukewarm.
• Make a sauce by mixing the yogurt, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Serve over the lukewarm zucchini and rice.
