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!

Easy and great tasting. Mine looked nothing like the photo TamTam submitted, just as a reference. It resembled wide, slightly-green rice noodles.

Yum! I added fresh garlic, and tossed them in a little Cajun seasoning then squeezed a little lemon on them after they were done. I've also topped these with fried bacon pieces. When you go to buy the zucchini to make these, but A LOT. I bought 4 and that barely lasted 2 days. Once you start, you'll just want more and more!

Didn't love it. My family refused to eat it after the required two bites.

Yes tammydr, steaming sounds much better. I would also consider baking them. Even if vegetables are better choices then pasta, frying them diminishes their nutritional positive attributes.

Love. Add a little bit of low-fat mozzarella and/or touch of parmesan and it really seems decadent
