Follow these easy steps to create your amazing zucchini noodle dish:

1. Spiralize the Zucchini: Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. If you don’t have one, a vegetable peeler can also work to make thin strips.
2. Prepare Ingredients: Mince the garlic, halve the cherry tomatoes, and cook your choice of protein according to package instructions or your preferred method.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4. Cook the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Tomatoes: Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, allowing them to cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
6. Incorporate Zucchini Noodles: Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the other ingredients.
7. Season: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the zucchini noodles are tender but still firm.
8. Add Protein: Toss in your cooked protein and mix well to combine everything evenly. Heat through.
9. Final Touch: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Following these steps will help you create a dish that is not only healthy but also brimming with flavor.
