Ingredients

  • 1 large zucchini, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or as needed

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced lengthwise

  • ½ medium red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-sized pieces

  • 1 cup yellow grape tomatoes

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons milk, or more to taste

  • ½ cup freshly grated Pecorino cheese

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

  1. Cut zucchini into noodle shapes with a spiralizer; toss with salt until combined. Drain on a paper towel until moisture is drawn out; about 20 minutes. Squeeze zucchini noodles to remove remaining moisture.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and red bell pepper; cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.

  3. Stir zucchini into onion mixture; cook and stir until tender and mixture looks dry, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Stir in milk and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Add Pecorino cheese, pepper, and oregano; stir until combined.

Tips

You can substitute red grape tomatoes and yellow pepper to create an appetizing color contrast.

Cream or almond milk can be substituted for the milk if desired.
