Use a vegetable peeler or zester to peel zucchini into long, noodle-like strips.Give them a quick stir-fry in a hot sautee pan with a bit of olive oil. It doesn't take long.
(Alternately, steam them, or blanch them by plunging them into boiling water for about a minute, and then into ice water. I prefer the sautee pan.)
To the sautee pan add any of the following:
- garlic, more olive oil, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, parsley and red pepper flakes
or
- pesto, olives and fresh mozzarella
or
- marinara (meatballs optional)
or
- sliced grilled chicken, lemon, oregano
or
- fresh tomatoes (just crush them with your hands and toss into the pan) fresh garlic, fresh basil, (and maybe shrimp?)
Sautee sauce ingredients until heated. Add the zuudles, stir to combine, serve.
Enjoy, and then go outside to play while it's still light out after dinner.
