    I've tried this. How long do you cook the zucchini? I can NEVER get it soft enough.

    I boiled it for about 3min with my regular pasta that was mostly done. It was perfect @FloralBlossom

    I personally pan fry mine (without oil in a nonstick skillet) and then sauce it.

    I have also had great success with it raw with a pesto type sauce. But it's more like just plain zucchini (which i love). :)

    I also like to thinly cut (red) cabbage lengthwise so you have long strands of it, boil it with a bit of vinegar until soft, and then use that as my noodle alternative. I know people often hate on boiled cabbage, but I find it pretty filling and it pairs well with cider or wine vinegars.
