A few things to know about zoodles
They cook really fast! They literally go into salted boiling water for 1-2 minutes then out and rinse with cold water before combining with a warm sauce. You can keep them warm if you are serving them immediately after cooking them. If they get too soft then they will break and just don’t hit the noodle texture you’re going for.
If you don’t have a spiralizer don’t despair! You can still make zoodles by hand cutting them into thin long strips. They might not turn out as pretty but they are just as delicious!
