Zucchinoodles aka Courgetti (LCHF)
I call this 'Courgetti' because I live in UK where zucchini are called 'courgettes'. I've been making these for a good while now, since I decided to ditch simple carbs.Salting the zucchinoodles gets rid of excess water, leaving them just at the perfect crunch/soft stage that makes pasta enjoyable. I find it also means you don't get puddles of watery sauce on your plate or a soggy disappointing meal. These are the opposite...fresh, tender and tasty.
