Many stores now carry packaged zucchini noodles in the produce section with precut vegetables. If using whole zucchini, you can put them in a spiralizer to make the noodles, or julienne slice the zucchini to make thin strips. To make this dish even spicier, use hot peppers instead of sweet. To make this dish less spicy, eliminate the red pepper flakes. Zucchini noodles are often referred to as zoodles.
