Zucchini 'Linguini' Bolognese

My friend Helen and I shared this side dish at Matteo's in Boca Raton along with our Veal Sorrentino.

The Zucchini Linguini Bolognese stole the show! Bolognese just means Meat Sauce.

I immediately located a hand turned spiral gadget for just $5 at TJ Maxx - it was like a big pencil sharpener that created long beautiful strands of Zucchini - and the rest is history.
