Vegetarian: Zucchini Alfredo

Every year I spend a week in July cooking for about 20 people, some of which have special food needs [vegetarian, celiac, low carb, diabetic] My other food blog [http://bigbuttmountain.blogspot.com/ ] has all of the low carb/celiac/diabetic recipes. This one will be normal eating as well as vegetarian. So for all the vegetarians that I have cooked for and failed to deliver the recipes for you, I'm sorry, and here is the first one. :]

Original recipe makes 6 servings

    1 (12 ounce) package uncooked egg noodles

    3 tablespoons vegetable oil

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    4 cups shredded zucchini

    1/2 cup milk

    4 ounces cream cheese, cubed

    1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

    salt and pepper to taste

    grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic, and cook 2 minutes. Mix in zucchini, and cook 10 minutes, until some of the moisture has evaporated.

    Pour the milk into the skillet, and stir in cream cheese until melted. Mix in basil. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve over the cooked pasta.
