Ingredients

  • Here’s what I gathered to make zucchini noodles for 4 people:
  • 6 zucchini
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Wash the zucchini…

…and cut a thin slice off the bottom of each one so they wouldn’t roll around on the cutting board.

Then, I placed the zucchini flat-side down on the cutting board and went to town with the julienne peeler. I kept the top on, so I could grasp it to keep the squash steady.

You can always quickly stir-fry ‘em…

But today, I placed the noodles in a covered microwave safe dish…

and nuked them on high for about 2 minutes.

I watched them closely so I wouldn’t overcook them. Nobody likes soggy noodles.

I drained the excess liquid and tossed the zucchini with salt and pepper, and topped them with Rao’s marinara sauce and meatballs (which you can easily make from bulk sausage).
