Zucchini noodles, or “zoodles,” are lightly sautéed with a mix of shallots and garlic, a sprinkle of dried oregano, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, briny Kalamata olives, and a generous handful of feta. The feta melts slightly from the heat, creating a creamy, almost gooey texture that perfectly coats the noodles. A final squeeze of fresh lemon juice brings it all together with a bright, zesty finish.
