Zucchini Spaghetti

Zucchini Spaghetti is made with veggies - not pasta. To make veggie noodles, you'll need a either a mandoline slicer or a gadget called a spirooli, which shreds or peels veggies in the shape of spaghetti noodles. I use a spirooli, which a key friend game me.

This dish (above) was served at a gathering of key friends in spring of 2013 and this was my first taste of these delicious noodles.

Making the noodles is pretty easy. You simply place zucchini or squash into place on the spirooli and turn the crank. In the photo below, I used yellow squash.

I like to steam the noodles, as it only takes one or two minutes. Be careful not to overcook them. I didn't like cooking them in the microwave as they took too long.

I made my favorite meatball recipe and served it over squash noodles. Yummy!
