Creamy Zoodles-N-Noodles with 'Shrooms (Zucchini Noodles, Pasta and Mushrooms)

These Creamy Zoodles-N-Noodles with 'Shrooms can be as fancy or as simple as you'd like. If you're a mushroom connoisseur, then by all means saute fresh mushrooms and make a white sauce. If you're... like me, you'll open a can of Cream of Mushroom Soup:@) Either way you'll have a tasty side dish that's perked up with garlic and thyme. Oh, and some bacon fat, did I mention bacon fat?
Comfort food-so easy and good folks!

The little $2.88 spiralizer from Walmart I've been using...
