Thai Zucchini Noodles

Recipe Description

This Thai Zucchini Noodles is one of my favorite Asian meals to make at home. Complete with a spicy Thai sauce and topped with toasted sesame seeds. This Asian comfort food is easy to prepare and versatile too! You can add extra veggies if you like. I usually use fettuccine pasta but you can use whatever you have in the cupboard. 

Start by cooking pasta to al dente. Sauté zucchini in olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Remove zucchini and add soy sauce, honey, chicken stock, and red curry paste to the skillet. Heat up and mix everything to combine. Add chopped green onions and remove from heat. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the sauce and stir to coat. Return the cooked zucchini and mix well. Serve garnished with toasted sesame seeds.

To make my version of Thai Zucchini Noodles, you will need the following ingredients:
