Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
- 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
- 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups packed baby spinach
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 4 large Rosemary Farm eggs
- 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large, deep nonstick skillet on medium-high heat, cook garlic and chili flakes for 1 minute, stirring continually, or until softened, add zucchini noodles, salt and pepper and cook, tossing gently, for 1 to 2 minutes or until zucchini has softened, stir tomatoes, spinach, lemon zest and juice gently into zucchini mixture until well combined. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted and tomatoes are warmed through.
