Ingredients

  • 1 large zucchini sliced in long strips ⅛ inch thick
  • 6.5 oz herb cheese*
  • 1 cup spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F.
  • Slice zucchini into thin strips (think 1/16th in). I used a mandolin to do this. If you cut it by hand the strips might not be as thin and you might need more zucchini, but it will still be delicious!

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • *I used the Alouette Garlic and Herb Soft Spreadable Cheese for this recipe. It was located near the deli section of my grocery store where all the fancy cheese are kept.
  • *My husband and I like these a little crunchy so I bake them for only 15 minutes. If you want a softer more noodle type texture cook longer. Depending on how thick your slices are you will need to adjust cook time accordingly.
