German Zucchini Spaghetti

By JimMac

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1
Cut the ends from each of the zucchini. Using a mandolin, set to the smallest julienne, julienne the zucchini using long strokes until you have squash strands that resemble "spaghetti". (Use only the outside, discard the seedy part). Heat the oil and butter in a saute pan, add the zucchini spaghetti, salt, pepper and dill weed. Quickly saute the zucchini until crisp tender (it will cook fast, in less then 5 minutes). Taste and adjust the seasonings; serve twirled onto the plate.
Step 2
Variation: Omit the dill, add some thyme and grated Parmesan.
