Zucchini noodles, or **zoodles** as they're sometimes called, have become increasingly popular in recent years as a healthy alternative to traditional pasta. They're low in calories and carbs, and they're a good source of vitamins and minerals. Plus, they're incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads to soups to stir-fries.
