Ingredients

  • 3 large zucchini
  • 1 pkg Modern Mac Seasoning
  • 2 cups whipping cream or coconut milk

Preparation

  1. Using a vegetable spiralizer, form zucchini into thin noodles. You should have about 9 cups.
  2. Place zucchini spirals in Multipurpose Steamer. Cover and microwave on high 4–5 min, until hot and tender-crisp.
  3. Meanwhile, place seasoning in a large measuring cup or bowl. Gradually whisk in cream. It will be thick. Don’t worry if mixture is lumpy; the lumps will melt when sauce is heated.
  4. Remove cooked zucchini from Steamer, strain excess liquid, and return zucchini to Steamer. Cover to keep warm; set aside.
  5. Microwave seasoning mixture, uncovered, on high 3–4 min, or until sauce is thick and bubbly, whisking halfway through to remove any lumps. Add sauce to steamer with zucchini; stir to combine.
