Chicken Tetrazzini is on the menu this week. Dry spaghetti is cooked and combined with zucchini noodles, chicken, mushrooms and a creamy Parmesan sauce. The creamy spaghetti mixture is then added to a casserole dish, sprinkled with additional Parmesan cheese, and baked in the oven. It’s a satisfying pasta dish that is nice and easy and tastes yummy!

About the zucchini noodles.

Anytime I do a recipe with zucchini noodles (AKA zoodles), I always like to briefly mention how to make them in case if you never have before. For me personally, I always use my Ninja spiralizer. There are lots of different kinds of spiralizers you can purchase in the store. Here are a couple of highly rated spiralizers you can purchase on Amazon.com:

This is what my zoodles look like when I use my Ninja Spiralizer:

Don’t have a spiralizer? No problem.

If you do not have a spiralizer, you can still make zucchini noodles. Watch the 2-minute video below for 3 alternative methods to make zoodles without a spiralizer:
