Default Zucchini Spaghetti!!

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!!!

Slicing up the zucchini and browning ground meat.


Walden Farms tomato sauce with added spices and meat.


All finished, time to dig in!!!

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!!

Thanks for sharing. Just printed your recipe and it will definitely become one of my regulars. I ordered a julienne tool and it was shipped today. Perfect timing. I can't wait too try.

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.
