Notes
Tips and Tricks:1. The nutrition is calculated to include the corn. Without the corn - the carb content is 8g.2. If you have a bit of extra time, I recommend salting the zoodles and letting it sit for 20 minutes. Then squeezing them gently so the release some of their water content. This will help ensure that the final dish isn’t too soupy.
