1tablespoonunsalted butter
1tablespoonextra virgin olive oil
1clovegarlicminced
¼teaspoonred chili flakes
4ouncesplain goat cheese
Instructions
Heat butter and olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chili flakes and garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the zucchini to the pan and toss with tongs for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle in salt and pepper.
Just as the zucchini noodles begin to soften, but before they start shedding water, add the goat cheese.
Cook just until the sauce is heated. This is a quick process. Remember the more you cook the noodles the more water is extracted, making the sauce runny.
