I have found an excellent method to remove moisture from the zucchini noodles which for me, is the key to cooking them.

I spiralize the noodles, place them in a couple of tea towels or wrap them in paper towels, put them in a bowl and into the refrigerator for at LEAST 4 hours before cooking them. You can even do this overnight. The moisture absorbs into the towel instead of remaining in your zucchini. If you then subsequently saute the zucchini quickly in oil/butter/whatever, they come out “al dente.” No More Mushy Noodles!

In reply to SkunkieMaux. Either is fine, it's personal preference. But, I usually make thinner noodles.

In reply to Downshiftology. That doesn’t answer the question of which is better fettuccine or spaghetti width for this recipe.

Excellent, easy instructions! Thank you. My guys love to help with the spiralizer. I left out the parmesean cheese as we had Kosher-observant guests. We added some red onions and pine nuts which made this very complete and tasty dish.

Hi, Lisa! I’m very new to “zoodles” and spiralizer-ing. I tried your Easy garlic Parmesan noodles and even though I was very skeptical, I was wowed by how good that dish tasted! I’m hooked! I will be making this dish again and other of your recipes, too! Thank you very much! The only thing I changed up in this recipe is that I added some leftover cut up bacon. Really good! Thank you! D
