Beyond Bland: The Zoodle Meal That Dietitians Love (2 of 6)

Dinnertime Done Right: Zoodles in 20 Minutes (with Sneaky Shortcuts!)

Here’s the beauty of this dish: it’s a flavor explosion in a flash; a complete meal in under 30 minutes, with built-in shortcuts for busy weeknights!

Step 1: The Zoodle

No spiralizer? No problem! Use a Julienne peeler! The julienne peeler often serves a dual purpose alongside a vegetable peeler. It features one side for julienning and another for slicing. That is ideal for creating thick, flat zucchini pasta slices. You can also buy pre-made zoodles, which are readily available at most grocery stores these days. But if you’re feeling adventurous (or have a handy spiralizer at home), zucchini or even sweet potato noodles work wonders in this recipe. Want them warm? Toss them in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil for a minute or two.
