ZUCCHINI RIBBON AND SPINACH SAUTE

Zucchini Ribbon and Spinach Saute image

Serving this dish with fresh grilled fish is a perfect combination. Zucchini can be grilled, fried, sauteed, or eaten raw in a salad. I grew up eating zucchini and eggs for breakfast, and now I just love making pasta with this versatile vegetable!
