Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 tbsp black pepper

Directions

  • With a good potato peeler create long "noodles" by starting at the top of the zucchini and peeling wide ribbons down the length of the zucchini.
  • Continue making ribbons as you turn the zucchini to get all the green part off first.
  • When the center portion becomes too thin , set it aside to use for a salad and start a new zucchini.
  • Heat a large skillet on medium high.
  • Add the olive oil and zucchini "noodles."
  • Saute the "noodles" for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Season with freshly grated black pepper and salt if desired to taste.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta sauce. I like to eat these with red sauce & meatballs!
