ZUCCHINI NOODLES AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH IN A GARLIC-LEMON SAUCE
I made this dish as one of the recipes for a charity event to benefit Place of Hope. We received amazing vegetables as donations and I thought this dish would be perfect. I wish we had grabbed a photo of my friend Suhiel spiralizing an entire box of zucchini. You can add poultry or seafood to make this dish hearty or enjoy as is for a perfect side dish or vegetarian option. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender zucchini and mushrooms. The younger the zucchini, the more tender it will be. Avoid zucchini that is large and seedy.

- Add the lemon juice and zest at the end of cooking. This will help to brighten the flavors of the dish.
- Serve the zucchini and mushrooms immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
