Ingredients
  1. 2 zucchini shredded with a mandolin, julienne peeler or spiraliser
  2. 8 washed zucchini flowers or however much you have. I also used the baby zucchini at the ends of the female flowers sliced
  3. 2 garlic cloves sliced
  4. 1 chilli sliced
  5. 10 cherry tomatoes whole
  6. bunch of fresh basil leaves
  7. 1/4 - 1/3 cup of olive oil
  8. pinch or two of sea salt
  9. tsp cracked pepper
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a frypan and add the sliced baby zucchini from the female flower, garlic, chilli and basil until crispy and golden.
  2. Add the zucchini flowers whole and stir to coat in the hot oil.
  3. Add the shredded/julienne zucchini to the pan with sea salt and cracked pepper and stir.
  4. Add the cherry tomatoes and cover the pan.
  5. When the tomatoes are cooked slightly (couple of minutes) squash them with a wooden spoon.
  6. Stir and cook for 10 minutes or so with the lid off.
  7. Test the seasoning.
Notes
  1. Cooking without the lid will ensure the liquid from the zucchini evaporates. But leave some sauce to eat with the Zoodles.
