Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Zucchini Noodles (5 minutes): Wash and spiralize the zucchinis into noodles. Set aside. If you do not have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips.
  2. Cook Tomatoes (10 minutes): Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cherry tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to burst, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Sauté Zucchini Noodles (5 minutes): Push the tomatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining olive oil to the other side and add the zucchini noodles. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the noodles are just tender. Mix the noodles with the tomatoes in the skillet.
  4. Add Feta and Serve (2 minutes): Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the zucchini noodles and tomatoes.
  5. Garnish (1 minute): Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
  6. Enjoy (1 minute): Serve the Homemade Zucchini Noodles with Burst Tomatoes and Feta immediately, and enjoy the fresh and savory flavors.

Notes

To perfect this dish, it’s important not to overcook the zucchini noodles, as they can become too soft and lose their texture.

The burst tomatoes should be cooked until they are just starting to break down, releasing their sweet juices. The feta adds a lovely creaminess and tang to the dish, while the fresh basil provides a burst of herby freshness.

This dish is a celebration of simple, fresh ingredients, making it a satisfying yet health-conscious choice.
