Print Recipe

A healthier twist on classic Alfredo, featuring creamy Greek yogurt sauce and tender zucchini noodles. Perfect for low-carb, quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat works best for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup milk (use almond milk for a dairy-free option)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 medium zucchini, spiralized
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional add-ins: Grilled chicken or shrimp, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchini and trim the ends. Use a spiralizer to create long, thin noodles. Sprinkle the noodles with a pinch of salt and let them sit for 5-10 minutes to release excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels before cooking.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in the Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and milk, whisking until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Add a splash of milk if the sauce seems too thick.
  4. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Avoid overcooking.
  5. Add the sautéed zucchini noodles to the Alfredo sauce, tossing gently to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

[‘Avoid overcooking the zucchini noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy.’, ‘Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest sauce.’, ‘Grate your own Parmesan for a smoother sauce.’, ‘Season generously with salt and pepper for optimal flavor.’, ‘Work in batches when spiralizing zucchini for uniform noodles.’]
