Notes
* I use a very large huge zucchins when making these zucchini ribbon pasta.* Go for long carrots as well if possible.* This spicy zucchini carrot ribbons pasta remains aldente, meaning it's crunchy! If you're making this for your lovely little ones👦👧 then prolong the cooking to let the veggies soften.* I don't measure the veggies, as we can never get enough of eating more veggies, so if you love veggies go on...some extra veggies will never do any harm❤💕* As for the dry herbs, go with what you have or what you love most...
