Notes

  • Many stores now carry packaged zucchini noodles in the produce section with precut vegetables.
  • If using whole zucchini, you can put them in a spiralizer to make the noodles, or julienne slice the zucchini to make thin strips.
  • To make this dish even spicier, use hot peppers instead of sweet.
  • To make this dish less spicy, eliminate the red pepper flakes and use a marinara sauce.
  • Zucchini noodles are often referred to as zoodles.
