Found this in a magazine! Made it with the garlic excellent! Also instead of boiling the ribbons, I fried them in butter until tender. Wow! That was excellent also! Very easy either way.

I don't have the patience to create zoodles, so instead I just shred the zucchini into spaghetti-like strands (using a food processor). Rather than boiling, I sauteed with garlic and butter, as others have suggested. And added tomatoes after everything else had been cooked and combined. Wanting a main dish instead of a side, I add some cooked sausage or chicken. Tastes great!Reply
