Description

Imagine a bowl of comforting Alfredo, but with a vibrant twist. This dish replaces traditional pasta with delicate ribbons of zucchini noodles, offering a lighter, more refreshing take on a classic favorite. The zucchini, lightly cooked, retain a pleasant crisp-tender bite that contrasts beautifully with the creamy sauce.

Nestled among the zucchini are pieces of tender kale, adding a subtle earthiness and a delightful textural element. The kale wilts just enough to become tender, soaking up the luxurious sauce while maintaining its slightly chewy texture. The heart of this dish is the Alfredo sauce—a velvety smooth concoction of cheese, butter, and cream.

Its richness coats every strand of zucchini and embraces each leaf of kale, creating a symphony of flavors and textures. The sauce is perfectly balanced, offering a comforting warmth and a cheesy tang that tantalizes the taste buds. The dish presents an inviting aroma, blending the fresh scent of zucchini with the savory notes of cheese and the subtle hint of butter.

Each bite offers a delightful interplay of sensations, from the slight resistance of the zucchini to the comforting melt-in-your-mouth feeling of the sauce. It’s a dish that satisfies your craving for something creamy and comforting, while still feeling surprisingly light and wholesome. The vibrant green hues of the zucchini and kale against the creamy white sauce make it as visually appealing as it is delicious.

Enjoy this quick and satisfying meal that brings a touch of elegance to your table.

Instructions

    1.
    Melt half the butter in a large saucepan over a low/medium heat. Add the shallot and sweat for a minute until tender then stir in the cream cheese until melted.
    2.
    Add the cream, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and simmer for a few minutes to heat through and thicken.

    Whilst the sauce is cooking, peel the zucchini flesh into wide ribbons, discarding the skin and tough ends. Melt the remaining butter in a skillet and add the zucchini ribbons along with the kale. Stir well and cook gently for a minute or so until just tender and the kale is wilted.
