They both were delicious, but this dish I’ve taken a different direction.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is a ‘one-pan’ recipe, where I make the sauce in the pan and then add the zoodles at the end to cook through and soften to an ‘al dente’ texture. The mushroom merlot sauce is super simple, I LOVE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsquareplate.com\/index\/cooking-with-booze\/wine\/\">cooking with wine.<\/a>.. usually it’s white, but I needed to change it up a bit! <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4135\" title=\"Zoodles with a Mushroom Merlot Sauce\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thatsquareplate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Zoodles-with-a-Mushroom-Merlot-Sauce-3.jpg\" alt=\"Here's a one-pan zoodle dish that is a healthy and super tasty dinner option.
