I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! The sauce is full of creamy, cheesy, garlicky goodness! Cheers to reaching your goals in 2019. The good thing is, it only takes 4-6 minutes to get them al dente, which gives you plenty of time to prepare everything else! I find the best way to cook zucchini noodles is by pan frying them. Fresh zucchini does not freeze well because of the high water content. Once youve cut or spiraled the fresh zucchini, store it in the fridge but be sure to use it within 24 hours. I always keep mine in the crisper drawer of the fridge. The more dry the noodles are, the better. Store uncut fresh zucchini in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Simply sprinkle salt over the noodles and let sit for a while. Like eggplant, you can use salt to extract the liquid. Remove the chicken from heat and cut into thin strips. Cook both sides of the chicken until thoroughly cooked. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium to high heat. Add the drained zucchini noodles and toss gently until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan.


Transfer to a large bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons of the pesto. Cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini lengthwise. Add chicken in one layer sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. The next step is to squeeze out all of the water from the zoodles, in a colander in the sink as best as you can. Measure out and prepare all the ingredients. You will have plenty of sauce to do so as well. This recipe calls for three zucchinis for two servings, however, you can use 4-6 zucchinis when feeding a family. Once spiralized, remember not to be overwhelmed by the volume of noodles you have before cooking as they will ‘cook down’ to probably half as much! Just like any other vegetable, it is important to wash them before using. To find out more about the effects of diet on our brain, this is a great video to watch! Magnesium is essential in our diet for the neural transmitters in our brain to function optimally, in turn reducing the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many other common illnesses. Similarly to my fat burning cabbage soup, zucchinis are also rich in potassium, vitamins A, B-6, C, and magnesium as well. They have tons of nutrients while being low in carbohydrates, which helps you to burn fat. If you are looking to lose weight or simply to start eating right, for yourself and for your family, zoodles are a great choice as an alternative to pasta. Keep in mind that the bigger and technical the gadget, the more time it takes to clean! The one I have and find to be the easiest to use is this 5-blade spiralizer.
