4. 4Uncover and stir sauce well. Add cubed cream cheese, stir and cover for 5 more minutes.
5. 5Add the pealed zucchini into the boiling water for approximately 4-5 minutes until tender and then drain.
6. 6Stir skillet well to incorporate the cream cheese, then add the shredded cheddar to the top to melt, remove from heat and set aside.
7. 7Plate the drained "zucchini noodles", and top with a nice hearty scoop of the cheesy "Mexican Spaghetti sauce" and enjoy!
