Here’s a great way to put those delicious farmers market zucchinis to use. This twist on spaghetti and meatballs subs in zucchini noodles for almost half of the pasta while adding some freshness and crunch to the dish. To achieve the zucchini noodle look, you can use a julienne peeler or spiralizer, pick up some pre packaged zucchini noodles in the produce section of your local grocery store, or feel free to hand cut them with a knife.
