- Bake zoodles at 10-minute intervals. Remove and stir every 10 minutes, continue baking at 10-minute intervals until the moisture has evaporated. **(see note below)
- While zoodles are pre-baking, heat a medium size skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter, then add the garlic, almond milk, heavy cream, cream cheese and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Whisk mixture until it is smooth and cheese has melted.
- Stir in drained tuna. Remove from heat.

Notes
- Zoodles: Depending on the size and moisture level of the zucchini this may take between 10-20 minutes. Remove when moisture as evaporated and they have shrunk in size, but before they are brown or crispy.
- Shredded chicken works great also if you want to switch things up!
