{Zucchini Noodles}
{This is a type of zester which can be found at kitchen gadget stores. If you have a mandolin, that would work too!}
Step 1: Cut zucchini in half lengthwise.
{Raw zucchini noodles}
Step 2: Drag the zester down the length of the zucchini making long strings of "spaghetti". If using a mandolin, set the blades to a 1/8 inch by 1/8 inch and run the zucchini along the mandolin.
{Boiling zucchini noodles}
Step 3: Boil the zucchini noodles in hot water for 3-5 minutes. This is just to get the noodles warm.
{Cooked zucchini noodles}
Step 4: Drain the zucchini noodles and then plate.
{I topped mine with homemade spaghetti sauce}
Step 5: Use like you would regular pasta by adding it to a dish and making sauce or topping it with a sauce that was already made, like spaghetti sauce.
Step 6: Enjoy!
If you are gluten-free, how else do you satisfy a craving for pasta? I've tried quinoa pasta, and just plain gluten-free pasta. I love the idea that this gives you another veggie! I'd love to hear how you do gluten-free!

Yum! I'll have to try this soon! I'm considering going gluten free so this could be perfect for my pasta cravings!
ReplyDeleteIt was close enough for me! It had a similar al dente texture and presentation! If you are going gluten-free, spaghetti squash is another good one to try, and it comes pre-spaghettied after you bake it.
