ZUCCHINI ZOODLES

Delicious “pasta” that’s low-carb and nutrient-dense!  Zucchini Zoodles fit the bill and they’re super easy to make with a spiralizer tool.  That’s an expensive kitchen gadget, right??  NOPE.  Spiralizers are super-affordable!  You can find them on Amazon for just $9.99 like this one => Veggetti.  (P.S.  What a great gift for someone!)

Yields 4 servings

Ingredients:

4 medium to large zucchini (if they’re small, then double it)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Wash and cut zucchini into 3 inch pieces.
2. Use a spiralizer to create your zoodles.
3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
4. Add zoodles to pan and sprinkle with garlic salt, Italian seasoning and pepper.
5. Using tongs, toss the zoodles to cook evenly (about 5-10 minutes depending on volume).  They are done just as they begin to soften.  Do not overcook, as the zoodles will become wet and mushy!
6. Serve with your favorite sauce or as a tasty side dish!

(We usually have LAZY LASAGNA over our zoodles.  Super-easy and fast during a busy weeknight!)
