To make Zucchini noodles you will need a spiral vegetable slicer. It is a fun way to add vegetables to your diet. Check links in the post for purchasing options.Cook and eat the noodles by themselves or mix half and half with pasta noodles for a nice combination.
Wash zucchini and trim ends flat. Place zucchini on the spiral slicer and turn the handle. You may need to hold that base, depending on how well the cups stick to the counter.
Heat olive oil in a medium sauté or fry pan. Add the shallot rings and cook until they are softened, about 1-2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the zucchini and cook for a few minutes until it is softened and hot.
Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and serve as a side dish or as you would pasta.
Notes
Zucchini noodles cook quickly. Season with salt and pepper and serve. If you enjoy cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan is nice, but totally optional.
