Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the noodles are tender but still slightly crunchy.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and grated mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.

6. Transfer the mixture into a serving dish and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Optionally, top with additional mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
