Caprese Zoodles

August 8, 2019 by Albion

We *love* caprese in this house. You show us a fresh tomato and we’re already grabbing the mozzarella. A classic caprese is always tasty, but sometimes we like to change it up by adding one or two additional ingredients. Adding zucchini noodles to a classic caprese is easy and turns the dish into a proper main meal. These caprese zoodles were an instant family favourite!

Caprese Zoodles

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 8 large fresh basil leaves
  • ¾ of 8oz container of fresh pearl mozzarella

(If you’re on Weight Watchers and want to lower the points, add less mozzarella and use non-stick spray instead of oil.)

Serving Size: 1 Cup

Servings: about 4

Directions:

Wash and dry zucchini, tomatoes, and basil.

Cut ends off of zucchini.

Using a mandoline slicer with julienne blade, carefully push zucchini long ways to slice into long strips. A spiralizer works as well. If you don’t have either, you can cut the zucchini with a knife–it will just take a while.

Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise, then in thirds.

Chiffonade basil leaves. (Place basil leaves on top of each other and roll up and slice into ribbons.)

Slice garlic.

In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat.

Add garlic and cook for about 30-45 seconds, stirring, until it starts to brown.

Immediately add tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.

Turn off heat and allow to cool down for 2-3 minutes. (If you add the mozzarella right away, it will melt.)

Add mozzarella and stir to combine.
