Ingredients
Directions
- 1With a good potato peeler create long "noodles" by starting at the top of the zucchini and peeling wide ribbons down the length of the zucchini.
- 2Continue making ribbons as you turn the zucchini to get all the green part off first.
- 3When the center portion becomes too thin , set it aside to use for a salad and start a new zucchini.
- 4Heat a large skillet on medium high.
- 5Add the olive oil and zucchini "noodles."
- 6Saute the "noodles" for 2 to 3 minutes.
- 7Season with freshly grated black pepper and salt if desired to taste.
- 8Serve with your favorite pasta sauce. I like to eat these with red sauce & meatballs!
