How to cook cook zucchini noodles olive garden
There are many ways of cooking zucchini noodles, they include, steaming, baking, stir frying and even boiling. All these methods give an equally tasty end product. This is my own version of zucchini noodles olive garden.
My little secrets towards a sumptuous and not soggy noodles are first off, removing the noodles that are very close to the core of the zucchini, they are mostly more moist that the those towards the skin. Also, avoid peeling the skin off as it is soft and adds great color to the dish. Moreover, avoid salting the noodles before cooking.
To begin with, I heated my skillet under medium high heat and added the cooking oil. Then added the onion, celery and bell peppers and saute them for 2 minutes, then added added the cherry tomatoes and pepper flakes. This already looked so delicious.
Next, dump in the zucchini noodles, garlic herb seasoning and pasta spice herbs. In addition, mix and saute for another 2 minutes. This will happen quick, if you leave the noodles to cook too long they get soggy and mushy.
