Notes

Use a spiralizer for the best zoodle results!
Make sure you have spiralized the zucchini into zoodles before you get started.
If you want to dip your toe into zoodles, you can always do a 50/50 mix of zoodles and whole wheat pasta. You'll have to cook the whole wheat pasta prior to the rest of the recipe.
Add some crushed chili flakes for a kick of heat.
Cut the zoodles into 6-inch lengths so they are easier to eat.
Don't overcook the zoodles or they will become too watery.
For an extra Italian twist, sprinkle on some Parmesan before serving.
Top with parsley for a pop of freshness
Serve immediately.
