How do you Cook Zucchini Noodles?
Zucchini noodles can be eaten raw, but when I’m serving them with a heated sauce I like to heat some olive oil, season the oil with sliced garlic (which is then removed) and then cook the zucchini quickly over high heat for just a few minutes. I think that method perfectly softens and seasons the zucchini.

These recipes look amazing. I bought the vegetti and didn't have good luck. What did you make your "noodles" with? They really look like noodles!!
Julie if you click through to the recipes, each one will tell which tool it was made with. I greatly prefer the Spiralizer now though, and I'd use that over anything else.
