Notes

My favorite way to make zucchini noodles is with THIS spiralizer.  You can also use a mandolin or simply cut with a sharp knife.

For more firm zucchini noodles, prior to cooking, place zucchini noodles in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes then gently press with clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.  The recipe works fine even if you don’t do this.
