COOKING TIME

5 minutes

TIPS

  • Don’t overcook the zucchini noodles; they should remain slightly firm to maintain their texture.
  • For a richer flavour, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Use a homemade marinara sauce for more control over the ingredients and sodium levels.

VARIATIONS

  • Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
  • Vegan Option: Skip the Parmesan or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Extra Veggies: Incorporate mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for added nutrients and colour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store leftover zucchini noodles and marinara sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Zucchini noodles don’t freeze well due to their high water content, so it’s best to enjoy them fresh.
