There is nothing quite so satisfying or fresh as a bowl of zucchini noodles. Don’t believe me? That’s okay. Just give this sauce a try and you will see what I mean. A bowl of noodles can be raw AND filling AND packed with flavor. It’s amazing, hits the spot, and really is just what I need: a no-fuss meal that is deeply satisfying.

I've made something like this before, but not with sun dried tomatoes. Looks amazing!
It's such a fantastic classic dish! And the sun-dried tomatoes give it such a depth of flavor 🙂
Hello 🙂
Do u think if I made it at night it wld be ok for lunch the next day?
Hi! Whenever I make zucchini noodles for the next day I wrap them in paper towels in a container so the water is absorbed. I keep the sauce separate and then mix when I'm ready to eat. Hope this helps! xo
