Zoodle Pad Thai

I've been obsessing over zoodles lately and finally got around to making some!  They're super easy to make and you don't even need a fancy spiralizer!  If you don't have one already, head on over to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and pick up at $7.00 julienne peeler.  These zoodles can be served as a pasta replacement or vegetable side dish.  The possibilities are endless!  Here's the basics on how to cook the zoodles along with a tasty Thai Peanut Sauce that I frequently whip up!
