If you've never tried zucchini noodles, or zoodles, it's time to go for it. This easy recipe dials down the carbs and is reminiscent of pasta with vodka sauce, but it’s made much lighter and fresher tasting by skipping the pasta and heavy cream. The flavorful mix of zucchini, tomato, and basil lends a garden fresh taste to this delicious dish, while grated cheese and whipped cream cheese will trick your taste buds into thinking you've got real vodka sauce on your plate. Mangia!
