Peanut Zoodles

Delicious, healthy, gluten free pasta alternative that stands up to my Vadouvan spiced rich & creamy peanut sauce. Zucchini is such an easy veggie to love, we spiralize it aka “zoodles” before a quick saute then the addition of the sauce & garnishes. This recipe literally takes minutes to make. Trust me make extra bc you will be going back for seconds, maybe thirds….

Equipment: Scale, KnifePot, Bowl, Spiralizer, Microplane, Saute Pan
