This was wonderful! And easy! I added a little olive oil with my butter. I fried some fresh minced garlic first for about a minute- just til it started to brown then added the zoodles. I took the advice I read to only fry them for about 2 minutes then I sprinkled some parmesan and fresh diced basil- heavenly! Didn't have any pine nuts so left them out and I skipped the red pepper.

Tasty and very easy. I had to sub walnuts for pine nuts because that's all I had. The crunch of the nuts is essential to the success of this dish. I will definitely make this again.
Some times less is more and this is one of those recipes. Easy and fast to prepare and the butter brings out the fresh flavors. I love the zucchini just barely cooked. Adjust the pepper flakes to your tastes. A delicious way to change up the bounty of summertime zucchini.
Super easy and quick. My family loves things hot and a 1/4tsp of pepper flakes was MORE then enough. I added cherry tomatoes to skillet just before zucchini zoodles. Very delicious!
Yumm-eee! I didn't have pine nuts available or the cheese specified (used some grated parmesan). I added a little crushed garlic (everything is better with that as far as I'm concerned) salt and pepper. Mine was ready in 2-3 min; more than that would have been too mushy for me. Love this! Note to self: Easy with red pepper flakes. Second time making this was a little hot (and I like spicy too). UPDATE 2/2/17: Had with the parmagiano-regiano cheese suggested and it put this over the top!
no pine nuts in the pantry minus the cheese so I fried some spiral onions (crispy) which I had long enough in the refrigerator. Still delicious.
It's easy to adjust the seasoning to your personal tastes. I used a lot less pepper and omitted the pine nuts. I had grated parmesan on hand so that is what I had used. It was a healthy and delicious side dish.
I liked this recipe. I am not a fan of spicy so left out the red pepper this time. Next time I will use a pinch of cayenne. I did use salt black pepper and garlic. Although I had no pine nuts and forgot the cheese it still tasted great. I will definitely make this again.
Use a bit less red pepper flakes and add some salt. Otherwise great dish.
Cayenne or pepper flakes both is mentioned in description and the other in directions I was wondering if this recipe was not thought out properly (however I used pepper flakes) sorry but I was not impressed I think a start of a great recipe but there are other basic zoodle starters I would use first I would definitely use garlic if you decide you want to try this recipe:) my star shows my opinion
