Have you ever had your zucchini… in noodle form? Have we blown your mind? Rocked your world? Vaguely amused you as you changed tabs to check your email? Well, they're called zoodles, and they can't be beaten, for they give you your green vegetables in a way that's exciting and new. Cooked with acidic tomatoes, nutty Parmesan, and pungent garlic, they'll be your new veggie go-to. You may now go back to your emails. Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.

If using ahi tuna, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. In Step 2, skip oven, cooking tuna in a hot pan with 1 tsp. olive oil until tuna reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-5 minutes per side. Tuna is often enjoyed medium-rare (pink in the middle). For medium-rare, cook 1-2 minutes per side. Consuming raw or undercooked tuna may increase your risk for food-borne illness.

If using NY strip steak, pat dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Follow same instructions as salmon in Step 2, searing undisturbed until browned on one side, 2-3 minutes, then roasting seared side up until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 10-12 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Halve to serve.
