  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain and place it into a bowl. Add the zucchini, garlic mixture and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and toss.

Zucchini pasta tastes great the next day. If you have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to two days in an airtight container.
Zucchini tastes great garnished with fresh basil leaves, cracked black pepper, a squeeze of lemon juice, and grated cheese alongside a garden salad, cucumber salad, asparagus with butter, or eggplant caprese.
