Directions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high, melt one tablespoons butter, add the zucchini noodles and toss for two to three minutes to cook it up. Allow the cooking juices to reduce for one minute if the zucchini noodles render too much water.

2. Stir in the Marinara sauce and add the pepperoni slices. Continue cooking until the sauce has thickened and sticks to the zucchini. Season with pepper and a pinch of crushed chili pepper flakes if you want a kick of spice. Garnish the Pizza Zucchini Noodles with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately with grated parmesan, if you like. Enjoy!

Recipe notes:

• Zucchini tends to render a lot of water when cooking, so you can sprinkle with salt after spiralizing and allow to sit for a couple of minutes to take off excess water. Rinse well to get rid of salt and drain thoroughly in a colander and pat dry in a kitchen towel before cooking.
