    While sauce is cooking, make zucchini noodles. Using vegetable peeler, pull peeler down sides of zucchini, making long strips. Stop when getting to the seedy core. Repeat with other sides of zucchini, until only seedy core is left. Repeat with remaining zucchini. Discard cores or save for another use.
