Step 1
Cut zucchini into noodle shapes with a spiralizer; toss with salt until combined. Drain on a paper towel until moisture is drawn out; about 20 minutes. Squeeze zucchini noodles to remove remaining moisture.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and red bell pepper; cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
Stir zucchini into the onion mixture; cook and stir until tender and mixture looks dry, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Stir in milk and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pecorino cheese, pepper, and oregano; stir until combined.

Cook's Notes:

You can substitute red grape tomatoes and yellow pepper to create an appetizing color contrast.

Cream or almond milk can be substituted for the milk if desired.

I'm certainly not a cook so when I say that this was easy I mean it! And delicious too!! I added chicken and used parmesan cheese (because I didn't have the other kind). There is a technique to making the zucchini spaghetti so I'll have to work on that but it's well worth the effort! I will defiantly be making this again ?? Read More

It was WAY too soggy. And the recipe didn't mention to cut the strains so it was like 1 longgggg noodle. And that much milk and oil just made it really more soggy Read More

I've had the spiralizer took for almost 2 years, and I can't believe how easy it was to use! Wish I would have tried it sooner-and this recipe was perfect. Next time I would use 2 zucchini as they really reduced as the moisture came out. And to add protein next time I might add shredded chicken and maybe even some crumbled bacon on top. But it was delicious just the way it was-didn't change anything this time. Read More

My family loved it! We had it as a side. My only comment is possibly should use a little less olive oil. I had a hard time with trying to cook it until it was dry. Flavor was awesome though! Read More

I had other vegetables that were crying out to be used. Shredded baby carrots and snap peas. Used parmesan/Romano mix. Very colorful and delicious! Read More

This was awesome!! Absolutely loved it. I used parmesan cheese instead. I also drizzled with a chicken and alfredo sauce (to add protein and make it more filling). Read More
