Zoodles and Pizza

 

Hello there! Here's a simple zoodle (zucchini noodles) recipe.  I spiralized the zucchini and tossed it up in a pan with some garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, topped it off with some feta, and served it with some pizza. Nom Nom!  Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 zucchini
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 5 garlic cloves, sliced
• 1 T red pepper flakes
• dash of salt
• dash of cracked black pepper

Instructions:

1. Rinse zucchini and slice ends off.  Spiralize into noodles shape.
2. Slice garlic.
3. Add olive oil to heated pan.  Add pepper flakes, garlic, salt, and pepper.  Stir to let oil get infused.
4. Add zoodles, tossing to lightly cook through.
5. Serve with a side of pizza or whatever you like and enjoy!
