    This Zucchini Noodles recipe is one of my favorite summer time meals...

    Mainly cause it's quick to prepare on the stovetop, delicious, and fun to make and eat!

    Especially since turning vegetables into noodles somehow makes them even more appealing to serve and eat.

    And this Ramen soup recipe is also a favorite of ours to make using zoodles.

    HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI NOODLES

    The easiest way to make zucchini noodles is with a spiralizer and I recommend this spiralizer!

    If you don't have a spiralizer then you can thinly shave the zucchini and then cut into long matchstick strips.

    I highly recommend owning a spiralizer since they can save you a lot of time.

    And you can easily spiralize most any vegetable.

    HOW TO COOK SPIRALIZED ZUCCHINI NOODLES

    The key to making the best noodles is to avoid over cooking them.

    You only need to cook them approximately 1-2 minutes..

    And it's a good idea if you can salt the noodles and let them sit in a colander prior to cooking...

    This helps release some water from them.
