They are simple to make if you have the right kitchen gadgets, but can take quite a bit of time. We’re here to save you time, so we have many zoodle varieties already spiralized and ready to throw into a recipe. This recipe uses our delicious butternut noodles, which you can pick up in our fresh-cut fruit and vegetable section every day for just $5.
