How do I make summer squash noodles?

Buying tip: if you find a highly-rated spiralizer under $15, that’s a great deal.
I cannot recommend a spiralizer enough.
It is a staple in my keto kitchen. I use it for all kinds of veggie pastas to replace my high-carb pasta addiction of the past.
Next, make your summer squash noodles and set aside.
Then, in a cast-iron (or oven-friendly skillet) fry your steak (with onions, if you choose) to your desired wellness.
Add in those summer squash zoodles and bake for about 15 minutes until tender.
What do I serve summer squash with?
I like to put a bit of queso fresco atop my zoodle and steak dishes, along with cilantro and a bit of lime juice.
You may want to try serving your steak and noodles with:
- parmesan cheese and bacon
- pesto
- salsa
- guacamole
