How to Store the Beef and Zucchini Noodles

Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended, as the zucchini noodles will get mushy.

For reheating, heat individual portions in the microwave until steaming hot, or heat the whole batch back up in an uncovered frying pan over medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
