Directions
Zucchini noodles are such a summer favorite. They’re fresh and super easy to make and they’ll make you feel lighter than grain based pasta. Also, you won’t need to cook them at all, which means way less stress and no need to worry if the pasta cooks to much. We usually love them simply seasoned with some pesto or just plain olive oil, a pinch of salt and some fresh cherry tomatoes, but we wanted to convince a couple of friends that still though zucchini noodles couldn’t be compared to pasta. So we tossed zucchini noodles into a rich, salty and slightly sweet tomato sauce and added some more complex flavors thanks to marinated mushrooms and vegan walnut parmesan. Guess who asked for the third serving?
