* It will be quite thick with the almond or peanut butter so keep mixing until it comes to a thick paste consistency. I always go by taste so keep tasting the sauce and add ingredients as needed. When added to the pan it will heat and thin out.
**When peeling the zucchinis don’t use the seeds in the middle as they have a bitter taste.
***It is easiest to mix with a pair of tongs. The noodles may fall apart but that is ok.
