Why we love Basil Chicken Alfredo with Zoodles Recipe

Those of you that grow gardens know how quickly a little zucchini plant can produce–once it gets going! When it gets producing like crazy then we have to make just about anything out of zucchini we can think of and then some, right?!  

Well, have you made Zoodles?  Zoodles are one of my very favorites and they’re so quick and easy to make you’ll love it! My awesome neighbor Margot gave me the zucchini in this photo–she’s so generous to share her zucchini bounty with us!

• In a large fry pan, saute onion in butter.
• When onion is almost tender, add garlic.

What are Zoodles

Zoodles are noodles made out of zucchini. You simply must try them because they’ll be your new fave! I bought a simple-to-use contraption at Walmart called a Veggetti last summer and it was worth every cent!  Making Zoodles is a cinch with it.
