Steps
Sequence Step
1First, preheat oven to 375ºF. Then, line a baking sheet with tin foil and place bacon on top. Cook back in oven at 375º for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon reaches desired texture. Place bacon on a paper towel-lined plate and pat off excess grease. Chop into bite sized pieces.
2Next, prep veggies by chopping mushrooms and finely dicing red onion.
3Heat 1 tablespoon of EVOO in a sauce pan on medium/high heat. Sauté veggies for about 5-10 minutes, or until they cook down. Season with salt and pepper. Add in marinara sauce and let simmer on low.
4For the zoodles, begin by spiralizing 4 zucchinis.
5Then, in a separate sauce pan, heat 1 tablespoon of minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of EVOO. Add in zoodles and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they cook down.
6Transfer zoodles on to servings plates, top with sauce, and a sprinkle of bacon.
