Zoodles

Have you ever tried Zoodles?  They're zucchini noodles.





I was skeptical that they'd be delicious because I really love regular pasta.


I was extra skeptical when people claimed they really felt like they were eating pasta.

I picked up a pack of freshly spiralized zucchini noodles when I saw them marked down at my local grocery store.  I figured it was work the $2 gamble.

The package claims they can be eaten raw or cooked.  I opted to cook them.  I don't think I've ever eaten raw zucchini.

One of my very favorite meals is vegetable lo mein.  I love the noodles and the veggies.  I chopped tons of veggies, added in some soy sauce and olive oil.



Ingredients:

snow peas
carrots
red, yellow and orange sweet peppers
onions
edamame
celery
green beans
zoodles
soy sauce
olive oil

Directions:
Saute the veggies in olive oil and soy sauce until they get some good color on them.  Add in the zoodles at the very end for 3 or 4 minutes.  Serve.

The zoodles were SO GOOD!!  This was the perfect lunch that reheated great the next day.



They definitely gave a noodley feel to the dish, but they don't taste just like pasta.  They were delicious and definitely a healthy substitute that tastes good with other veggies.  I'd highly recommend giving them a try.  I have yet to spiralize my own zucchini.  I am extra motivated to give that a try now that I know they're tasty.

Have you ever tried zoodles before?  What other veggies to you spiralize?

  2. I have never tried them before! This looks like a great way to eat them though. We are trying riced cauliflower in burrito bowls this week and I am nervous ;) xoxo ERIN

  3. This is a great idea! I have made them myself, but the last time I did that, they were a little bit watery - not something I dealt with before. I am sure it's more economical to make them yourself, but it's real handy to buy them at the store like that!

  5. I would love to try them but only if I found them in my store like you did. I don't want to try something and not like it, plus I don't know about making my own. I love that there is another option than pasta though.
