    This Hot Zucchini Sauce is delicious, easy and quick to make.

    This Hot Zucchini Sauce is something that you can easily prepare on a busy weeknight. Serve it with crusted bread and crisp white wine for a simple relaxing dinner.

    Zucchini is a vegetable that doesn’t take long to cook. It can be eaten raw, but it is usually served cooked. Zucchini can be steamed, boiled, grilled, stuffed and baked, barbecued, fried, or added in other recipes. It is also a great low carbohydrate substitute for noodles or pasta. Buy enough zucchini that you can use within a week otherwise they go bad quickly. They may last for another week in the fridge but they are not as crisp with shriveling skin.

    To make this sauce, use firm zucchini with soft and immature seeds.

    How to Prepare the Zucchini?

    1. Remove the hard top part, wash and pat dry zucchini.
    2. Don’t peel.
    3. Slice the zucchini with a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler into thin ribbons starting from one end and finishing at the other end.

    You’ll be amazed, how quickly you can prepare this flavorful zucchini sauce recipe. Don’t we always have a zucchini in the vegetable bin that goes to waste. Not anymore!

    If you have stubborn kids who won't eat vegetables, which I can understand, cut the zucchini julienne style or use a spiralizer and mix it up with pasta and chicken. Maybe that will do the trick.
