For a richer flavor, brown the butter before adding the garlic. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it will turn bitter. Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or spinach. For a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil and the Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast. Zucchini noodles are best served immediately, as they tend to release more moisture as they sit.
