  • Yeah, I put this post in the recipe lists also.

    I asked around and got some ideas from folks and decided to try Zucchini Spaghetti. Was pretty good. I only sliced up one zucchini, would most likely need two for the amount of sauce made.

    I had to go to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick up the Oxo Julienne Slicer needed to make the 'noodles' (Thanks mammoth357 for the info!)

    From hyrysk
    2 cups/one jar Walden Farms Tomato Basil Sauce
    ½ cup water
    1 Tbsp. Garlic
    1 tbsp. Onion powder
    ½ tsp oregano
    Salt to taste
    Course ground pepper
    ½ tsp. basil
    1//3 tsp. dried parsley flakes
    Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
    ½ pack of Spleda
    Usually let it simmer for 30 minutes or until it starts to thicken a little. If you don’t wan’t to make meatballs. I cook a pound of ground beef and add it to the sauce right before its done.

    The noodles (ok, I'm not a real chef, so here goes...) I got a cast iron skillet and put maybe 1/4 of an inch of EVOO, got it nice and hot and put the sliced zucchini until it turned a little translucent. If you cook too long, they just fall apart. The site I got the info on cooking it said to put a slightly smashed clove of garlic while heating the oil, then remove garlic. I tried using garlic powder and it turned into a ball of crud. I put the garlic powder over the dish when done.

    Ah, what a nice break from chicken!!!

    Thanks!!!! It was so much fun making. I was so tired of chicken. That ground meat I used was so lean I didn't even have to drain anything out after browning it!!
  • This looks wonderful! Did you get the peeler from the store on Seigen, or did you have to order it? I'd love to go buy one tomorrow!

  • Thanks for all the kind words everyone. This really was a fun dish to make.

    Thanks for sharing!
  • Looks fabulous! This reminds me, I have a gadget purchased several years ago called a Spirooli that will cut a zucchini into spiral noodles and it works really well for that purpose. I'm going to get it out and dust it off now! I sometimes mix the zucchini noodles with shirataki noodles to get a good size portion.
