Instructions
Cut end off zucchini. Place the zucchini upright with one of the flat ends on a cutting board. Using a julienne peeler ( or a spiralizer) create the “noodles” by passing the peeler down the lengthwise side of the zucchini. Repeat, rotating the zucchini until you reach the seed area of the zucchini and it is no longer possible to create long strands. Set aside
Cut cherry tomatoes in half, or heirloom tomatoes in small chunks (removing seeds). Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste and red pepper flakes (optional). Sauté for about a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add zucchini and tomatoes and continue to sauté for 4-5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Serve noodles immediately and garnish with crumbled feta cheese.
