Zucchini Noodles

A great pasta substitute.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Continue making ribbons as you turn the zucchini to get all the green part off first.
  3. When the center portion becomes too thin , set it aside to use for a salad and start a new zucchini.
  4. Heat a large skillet on medium high.
  5. Add the olive oil and zucchini "noodles."
  6. Saute the "noodles" for 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Season with freshly grated black pepper and salt if desired to taste.
  8. Serve with your favorite pasta sauce. I like to eat these with red sauce & meatballs!

This was delicious! I may try mixing spaghetti squash with it as well to get a nice colorful dish. Thank goodness I've found a substitute for my pasta cravings.

I was surprised, but it is a very fulfilling substitute for pasta. Most of these "replacement" recipes and ideas just leave me wanting the real thing, but this was fabulously delicious!

Absolutely delicious!! Also, 1 zucchini per person is not enough, I would suggest 2. My fiance and I *inhaled* these for dinner w. the meatball recipe & low sugar pasta sauce.

I tried them slicing with the potato peeler and another batch with a slicer for thicker. The potato peeler ones were better for "noodle-like". I also added some garlic and they were the best!!! Thanks for this great recipe!!

It was good, but the "noodles" were still kinda crunchy, even after sauteeing it for over 10 minutes. Any way to take care of this?

This was a fantastic idea and if you like zucchini, you'll love it. I couldn't believe how good it was with some marinara on it!
