spaghetti alla puttanesca
(its Italian name) translates literally as “spaghetti of the whore.” A southern Italian peasant dish, puttanesca sauce is nicely salty from the olives and capers. This richly flavored sauce is perfect with zoodles.

WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE
PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES / COOK TIME: 15 MINUTES
This simple mushroom cream sauce works with zucchini fettuccine perfectly. The wider noodles hold up well to the heaviness of the sauce. To avoid watering down the sauce, salt the zucchini noodles and allow them to drain in a colander for 30 minutes before cooking them.
