Ingredients

For the zoodles:

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for cooking
1-2 cloves garlic minced or ran through a press
1-2 zucchini spiralized, to taste*

For the marinara-mascarpone sauce:

1/4-1/2 cup marinara sauce *
2-3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese to taste
kosher salt to taste

To garnish:

Parmesan cheese freshly grated
pecans roughly chopped to taste
fresh basil ribboned
black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Heat up olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add in garlic. Sauté for a minute or two until lightly golden. Add in zoodles and cook until lightly softened (but not fully overcooked), 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander and allow to drain while you prepare the sauce. Remove any liquid from the pan.
Heat up a touch more olive oil in the pan. Add marinara sauce and mix-in mascarpone cheese, seasoning to taste. Add back in the zoodles and mix around to coat.
Serve right away with freshly grated Parmesan, pecans, basil and black pepper.
