This is a great main dish recipe to replace a pasta dish or you can use it as a side dish to a piece of grilled chicken. It is perfect for late Summer and early Fall since tomatoes and zucchini are abundant in your garden or the Farmer's Market.

I used a Pademo Spiral Vegetable Slicer, it makes a pretty presentation. If you don't have one, slice the zucchini in small strips to resemble a noodle.
