Spinach Parmesan Zucchini Noodles is a fun way to get your veggies.
Turning zucchini into “noodles” is easy. This recipe will make your plate look fancy, without the fuss. The recipe instructs you to use a box style grater, laid on it’s side. You can create zucchini noodles by dragging the zucchini along the grater. You can get the same effect by using a vegetable peeler. Instead of peeling just the skin off the zucchini, keep peeling al the way through. Come back and let me know how you used zucchini this week. Enjoy!
