1/8 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped

  4.   Add the garlic to pan. Sauté for 1 additional minute. Remove cooked shrimp from pan and set aside. 
  5.  Using a flat vegetable peeler, slice long, wide pappardelle-shaped “zoodles” from each zucchini, discarding the center when the seeds are visible in     the noodles.
  6. Heat large sauté pan with remaining olive oil.
  7. Sauté zucchini Pappardelle for 3 minutes on medium heat.
  8. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, tossing to combine. 
  9. To create the sauce: add Greek yogurt and lemon juice, and gently toss into yogurt melts into a sauce
