Author Notes
This is an interesting variation on the zucchini noodle theme. It is infinitely adaptable - simply mix up the beans, garnishes, and sauce you use - but always tasty and refreshing. Furthermore, it is a well-balanced meal, featuring an excellent combination of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and flavor. To make more servings, simply double, triple, or quadruple the recipe as necessary. —Elisabeth
