For a richer flavor, try using roasted garlic instead of minced garlic. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. To prevent watery noodles, gently pat the zucchini noodles dry with a paper towel before cooking. Zucchini noodles are best served immediately. If you must prepare them ahead of time, store them separately from the sauce to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Jun 28, 2025I overcooked the zucchini a bit, so it got a little watery. Next time I'll cook it for less time.
