ZOODLES
Ingredients:
4 Large Zucchinis
2 Cloves Minced Garlic
1 tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt/Pepper to taste
Directions
1. Use a spiral slicer or the most comparable setting on your mandolin slicer to create noodle-like zucchini strings
2. Heat oil in saute pan over medium high heat
3. Add zoodles and garlic to pan and saute 3-5 minutes (the trick to cooking zucchini noodles is to remove from heat before fully cooked. The residual heat from the pan will finish cooking the zoodles and prevent them from turning to mush and releasing water).
