Note

Salting and drying the zucchini noodles is the most important step – it removes excess water and prevents the sauce from becoming watery. Only cook the zoodles for 1-2 minutes max. They should still have a slight bite – think al dente pasta. Overcooked zoodles turn mushy and release too much water.
