Ingredients
- 4 cups zucchini spiralized
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus additional for the zucchini noodles
- ¾ cup egg about 6 egg whites, white, liquid form
- 4 egg large
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons basil roughly chopped and very tightly packed, plus more for garnish, fresh
- ½ cup roasted red peppers 111 grams, patted dry with a paper towel, sliced
- ½ cup Greek yogurt plain, nonfat
- ¼ cup red onion roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- black pepper generous pinch
- 3 cups spinach roughly chopped and firmly packed, fresh
- 1 can Artichoke 14-ounce can) drained, patted dry, and roughly chopped, quartered, packed in water
- 1⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese 97 grams, divided, grated
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ and generously spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place the zucchini noodles into a large colander set over a large bowl. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt, tossing around to evenly coat. Let the zucchini noodles stand for 20 minutes, tossing occasionally, so they release some water.
- Combine the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, liquid egg whites, large eggs, roughly chopped basil, sliced red peppers, Greek yogurt, red onion, garlic, and pepper into a high-powered blender and blend until liquefied. Pour mixture into a very large bowl.
- Squeeze out as much of the moisture from the zucchini noodles as you can, and lay them flat on a paper towel. Using another paper towel, press out as much of the water as you can, then transfer the zucchini noodles to the bowl with the red pepper sauce mixture.
- Add in the chopped spinach, patted and chopped artichokes, and 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Toss until well mixed and the cheese and veggies are evenly dispersed. Using a large, sharp knife, cut up the zucchini noodles in the bowl. This makes cutting the cooked casserole a lot easier.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared cast-iron skillet and press down until flat and even. Sprinkle with the remaining ⅓ cup of Parmesan.
- Bake until the casserole feels set, about 45-50 minutes. Then, turn your oven to high broil, and broil until the top is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Let sit for 30 minutes to cool, so that any excess moisture that may be sitting at the bottom of the pan can be re-absorbed.
- Garnish with more basil, if desired, and serve hot.
