A great way to start eating healthier is to focus on eating more vegetables each day. Vegetables are packed with nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and so many more health benefits to keep us healthy. Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables and I absolutely love eating zucchini noodles because it’s a great way to get some yummy wholesome vegetables.

This meal was inspired by one of my favorite dishes at The Old Spaghetti Factory “Spaghetti with Mizithra Cheese and Browned Butter” and I wanted to recreate my favorite pasta dish from The Old Spaghetti Factory and use zucchini noodles instead of spaghetti noodles. This dish only has three ingredients! Zucchini, butter, and mizithra cheese.

How to Make Zucchini Noodles?

Making zucchini noodles is super easy! There are a few options that you can do:

• Spiralizer: Easiest and best way to make zucchini noodles is using a spiralizer.
• Mandoline: This is a great option as well with the julienne blade. Or if you want to have lasagna-like zucchini noodles then use the slicer attachment.

If you don’t have these tools you can buy premade zucchini noodles at the grocery store. Look in the produce section by other pre-chopped produce or get frozen premade zucchini noodles in the frozen vegetable aisle.
