Creamed Zucchini with Garlic and Basil - 8g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 5g Sugar

From: www.onceuponachef.com - By Jennifer Segal, inspired by Cook's Illustrated
Prep Time: 10 Min
Cook Time: 10 Min
Total Time: 20 Min
Servings: 4

1 3/4 lb zucchini (preferably smaller zucchini, as they are less watery)
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 Tbsp heavy cream
3/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp fresh chopped basil

Grate the zucchini by hand with a box grater or in a food processor fitted with the shredding disk. Wrap the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much excess water as possible. Repeat a few times, replacing the towel if necessary.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded zucchini and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender, about 6 minutes. Turn the heat down to low; add the heavy cream, salt, pepper and basil and simmer until the cream is absorbed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
