Zoodles: Zucchini Noodles

What in the world are zoodles? It is noodles made of zucchini.  Some people cook it, but I think they taste just fine uncooked. Plus, it will be done faster. I’m all for easier and faster version of anything.

My friend has a vegetable garden in her backyard and she grows zucchini among other things. She had an abundance of zucchini so she graciously shared it with us.

Ingredients:

  • Zucchinis (if you have small zucchinis you might want to use about 1 zucchini per person, mine is huge so I only use 1)
  • Salt

Directions:

  • Slice the zucchini with a julianne slicer, or use a spiralizer (even better) if you own one.

You can serve zoodles just like regular noodles. It goes well with meatballs, marinara sauce, pesto, or any other sauce you can think of. Today I’m pairing my zoodles with Beef Adobo.
