Creating 10-Minute Pizza Zucchini Noodles is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delightful meal:
1. Spiralize the Zucchini: Use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to turn the zucchinis into noodles. Set aside.
2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to the pan.
3. Sauté Zucchini Noodles: Once the oil is hot, add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still firm.
4. Add Sauce: Pour the marinara sauce over the zucchini noodles. Stir well to combine and heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5. Mix in Toppings: Fold in your choice of toppings—pepperoni, olives, and chopped bell peppers. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
6. Cheese It Up: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top and cover the skillet. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted.
7. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and transfer the pizza zucchini noodles to a plate. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil or extra sauce.
Following these steps will allow you to whip up a meal that tastes indulgent without the extra calories.
