For an enhanced flavor profile, consider using a high-quality balsamic glaze. A thicker, aged glaze will provide a richer, more complex sweetness. Freshly picked basil is always best! The aroma and flavor will be significantly more vibrant than pre-packaged options. To prevent overcooking the zucchini, ensure your pan is adequately heated before adding the zoodles. This will allow them to cook quickly and evenly. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create wide, ribbon-like noodles. For a touch of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the salt and pepper.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. (1 minute)
02
StepAdd the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté, stirring constantly, until they begin to soften and release their juices, about 1 to 2 minutes.
03
StepIntroduce the zucchini noodles to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the zoodles are tender yet still have a pleasant bite, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
04
StepRemove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in the halved mozzarella balls and the chiffonade of fresh basil, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the tomato-infused oil.
05
StepDivide the warm Caprese zoodles among four serving bowls. Finish each portion with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze. Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture and flavors.
