Zucchini noodles (affectionately known as "zoodles" by low-carb enthusiasts) are the gluten-free, low-carb solution to your pasta-cravings.
Anything pasta can do, zoodles can do too — but with fewer carbs.
Use a veggie spiralizer or even kitchen tools you already have on hand to turn fresh zucchini into elegant noodles.

- Zoodle your zucchini into spirals. There are many different contraptions out there. Use what you have on hand and your prefered thickness of noodle..

Slice the zucchini into thinner strips resembling spaghetti. Add oil to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the zucchini noodles (with minced garlic if you want some flavor). Make sure that the zucchini only cooks slightly, to preserve its fresh, crunchy texture. A light alternative to pasta, and while I add a simple tomato/garlic sauce here, you can pretty much do any sauce you'd normally put on pasta.
