How To Make Zucchini Noodles a.k.a Zoodles

This dish cooks quickly, so have all of the ingredients prepared and on hand before you start cooking.
Buy zucchini that are firm and blemish free, also buy zucchini that are relatively straight, because they're easier to slice into zoodles.
Wash the zucchini and, leaving the skin on, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin planks. Stack planks on one another in bundles of three and slice into thinner shoelace size "strings"; they don't have to be too thin or uniform, just get as close to shoestring size as you can, they'll cook up easily enough and get soft quickly on the stovetop.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat and add in the onion and cook for about 1 minute.
Add in the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more. If you want a little heat, add in some rep pepper flakes as well.
Add salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and lemon zest. Mix and cook another minute.
Add in the sliced zucchini and mix well with all the ingredients.
Once the zucchini is added, just cook 2-4 minutes or until the zucchini is heated through. Do not cook overly long or the zucchini will lose its texture and the dish will become too wet. If this happens. just drain off a bit of the water.
Stir in the olive oil and lemon juice.
If desired, add a little grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
Remove the skillet from the stovetop and serve immediately.

Easy peasey!
