Making zucchini noodles:

  • Making the zucchini noodles is easiest with a spiralizer, but you can make the zucchini noodles using a julienne vegetable peeler as well.
  • Never peel the zucchinis because the skin is what gives the pasta that little extra crunch.
  • Zucchini noodles cook very fast so be very careful not to overcook them because they will become mushy and lose all texture.
