Notes
Fridge Storage: You can easily store both the sauce and the spiralized zucchinis in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Freezer Storage: They freeze for even longer (up to 3 months for best quality), meaning you can have this delicious and nutritious meal prepped and ready for you at all times.
Make Ahead Tips:
The zoodles: Spiralize the zucchini ahead of time, up to 2 days, and store in the fridge in a paper-towel lined, airtight container.
The sauce: The sauce can be made well ahead of time: up to 3 to 6 months if you freeze it and up to 3 to 5 days in the fridge. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in a pot over medium heat.
