A great pasta substitute.
Ingredients
Directions
- With a good potato peeler create long "noodles" by starting at the top of the zucchini and peeling wide ribbons down the length of the zucchini.
- Continue making ribbons as you turn the zucchini to get all the green part off first.
- When the center portion becomes too thin , set it aside to use for a salad and start a new zucchini.
- Heat a large skillet on medium high.
- Add the olive oil and zucchini "noodles."
- Saute the "noodles" for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Season with freshly grated black pepper and salt if desired to taste.
- Serve with your favorite pasta sauce. I like to eat these with red sauce & meatballs!

Pleasantly surprised. I don't really care for zucchini or tomato/pasta dishes -- but I decided I was going to make a simple marinara sauce along with these zucchini "noodles" for lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed the dish. I used PAM cooking spray instead of oil and had to cook the zucchini a little longer -- but it wasn't too shabby! Even my 2-year old daughter ate a quarter of it. Yum-o!

Wow, these noodles are great. I made American Chop Suey for my family and just put the meat & sauce on my zucchini noodles and it was delish!

yuuuummmm. I added more zucchini without increasing my oil and it works very well.

I am obsessed with pasta, any kind, you name it. This is an EXCELLENT substitute. It is really uncanny how well they go with pasta sauce as well as cheese!
