Cream Cheesy Cubed Zucchini with Lemon and Oregano

I didn’t start out trying to make a creamy zucchini recipe, but when I glanced in the fridge and saw the last crumbled remains of fresh cream cheese, I knew those green cubes sizzling away in the skillet were about to get enriched. While I’d normally have a hard time feigning such excitement over squash, I’m actually quite thrilled with how this came out.

Heat olive oil in skillet over high heat; stir in zucchini, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 2 minutes.

Step: 3

Stir cream cheese into zucchini mixture; cook until cream cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in oregano.
