Description
Zucchini is a neutral tasting vegetable and low carb. The noodles were a wonderful foil to spicy tomato sauce, topped with feta cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 medium green or yellow summer squash
Instructions
- Wash and remove the ends of each squash.
- Julienne slice each one into long thin pieces. Use a sharp knife to make even size cuts, use a mandolin slicer, or Uberchef julienne peeler if available, to save time.
- Serve raw with a hot sauce poured over them, which would lightly cook the noodles on the plate.
- Alternatively, briefly stir-fry the noodles in hot coconut oil, for 2 minutes before serving. Cook for just enough time to wilt them.
