Notes
Zucchini noodles can be salty on their own. So, if you are planning to use this sauce over zucchini noodles,I would recommend leaving the salt out and testing once it is mixed in with the zucchini noodles.br]* You can also use a [spiralizer. I LOVE this one!
** You can add more olive oil if you want a runnier sauce, as this is thick and almost paste-y. However, as zucchini noodles are quite watery, I find it's better to have a thicker sauce as the zoodles thin it down once mixed together.
