It’s getting cold now. It’s time to shift from cold and wet salads to comfort foods. Below is a warming and nourishing dish for you to try this week. Make extras for leftovers.
Tip: When cooking the zoodles, make sure you don’t overcook. Zucchini gets soggy. The recipe calls for 1 minute, please be mindful of this. The zucchini should be al dente.
Enjoy!
