If there is one vegetable that I could guarantee you can find at your local farmer’ market or in your garden right now it would be zucchini. Am I right? This prolific vegetable is like a superhero.

One day it’s about 8 inches long on the plant and the next it’s the size of a baseball bat. I have reached that point of summer when I am getting tired of eating the same old vegetables. So I love to mix things up a bit with recipes like this Zesty Parmesan Zucchini Noodles.

This is a perfect summer recipe because fresh produce is in abundance now. It’s fruit and vegetable heaven on our farm. I started this simple recipe by spiralizing two medium zucchini. I then sauteed some fresh diced plum tomatoes, onions and garlic with a generous amount of red pepper flakes (that’s the zesty part) in a skillet.

You can add as little or as much red pepper flake zest as you like. Then add the zoodles into the pan and cook over medium heat for about seven minutes.

Season the dish with plenty of fresh basil. This pasta-inspired Zesty Parmesan Zucchini Noodles is the perfect summer recipe. But don’t limit it to just then. You can certainly enjoy it all year long!
