Gorgeously green zucchini makes for pretty white and green zoodles. Add your favourite sauce and voila! Or cook your zoodles and use butter as your sauce.
Ingredients
1 medium
Zucchini
1 tbsp
Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
(or butter)
1 dash
Salt and pepper
4 tomato
Cherry Tomatoes
2 leaf
Basil, fresh
(garnish, optional)
Instructions
Plan for roughly one medium-sized zucchini per person.
Split the zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop the seeds with a spoon and slice the halves very thinly with a potato peeler or use a spiralizer to make zoodles.
Toss the zucchini noodles in a simmering sauce of your choice and serve immediately with cherry tomatoes.
If you aren't serving your zucchini with a sauce, then boil salted water in a large pot and parboil the zucchini slices for a minute. Drain the water and add olive oil or 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter, salt and pepper to taste and stir.
Zucchini may help to improve digestion and is a good source of vitamin C, folate and potassium.
