ZUCCHINI NOODLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• For spiral-shaped zucchini noodles, use a spiralizer tool. If you plan to cook the noodles, use a thicker blade. This results in larger zucchini noodles that, when cooked, maintain their shape better and have more of an al dente texture .
• Wash and dry the zucchini. Budget approximately one medium sized zucchini per serving of zucchini noodles.
• If you plan to make spiralized zucchini noodles, trim the top of the zucchini.
• Secure the zucchini into your spiralizer appliance. Our spiralizer uses a long metal skewer pushed through the center of the zucchini on one end to hold it steady. The other end is held in place with a plate covered in sharp spikes.
• Turn the crank handle to push the zucchini through the spiralizer blades. Place a bowl on the other end to catch the zucchini noodles as they come out through the spiralizer.
• Continue to rotate the crank until you hit the end of the zucchini.
• In a large saucepan, gently heat your favorite pasta sauce. Prepared pesto sauce with a touch of cream or a fresh marinara sauce both work well with zucchini noodles.
• Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the pan with the warm sauce. Carefully toss the noodles with the sauce and cook for about 2 minutes, or until just softened. Do not overcook or the zucchini noodles will become soggy and lose their shape.
• If desired, additional fresh vegetables or fresh herbs can be added to the zucchini noodles. Once the noodles are cooked al dente, remove from the heat to prevent overcooking.
• If you do not have a spiralizer, zucchini noodles can also be made using a vegetable peeler. Using this method the zucchini will be cut into long, very thin ribbon-like noodles.
• Noodles made with a vegetable peeler tend to be quite thin and are best suited for raw preparations. For a fresh zucchini noodle salad, simply toss the zucchini ribbons with a light dressing of olive oil and vinegar. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Additional fresh vegetables or herbs can be added as well.
