Zucchini noodles with shrimp, mushrooms and garlic sautéed in a little chicken stock ... Lots of liquid that can be drained but we like it served that way family style ... Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes

My wife uses the leftover stock to roast chicken with vegetables ... she put quartered cabbage in with it last week and it was unbelievable ... the stock makes a great soup starter and she even uses it to brush on her pizzas ... big taste

I'd also like to try mussels some day instead of the shrimp with a bit of tomatoe added ...

what kind of trouble are you having? and cooking which type of veggie?

Before I even know your answer...You CANNOT go wrong "blanching" them in salted water no matter the veggie you are using...Blanching in this case is a quick boil in salted water until JUST almost al dente and then dropped into ice water to quickly shock(stop)the cooking...Then you'd toss them in the sauce and since they're veggies and not pasta they will reheat REAL fast...

how to cook any of them zychini or squash

either use the technique I mentioned earlier...OR you can throw them into the hot sauce at just the last minute which will cook them as well

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

even if you precook them in the way I said, they'd still go in at the VERY last second....But with the precooking the texture might hold up a bit better than if you cooked them right in the sauce
