I love pasta! But since I have been eating Paleo and doing the Whole30, I have not had a single noodle. There are plenty of low-carb solutions for substituting spaghetti. One of which is "Zoodles" - Zucchini noodles! They are very easy & delicious to make! And now that it is almost summer time and squash is an extremely easy crop to grow, it is a great vegetable to have fresh from the farm!
I find that 1 large zucchini is enough for 1 serving.
With a Julienne peeler, peel your zucchini skin and all.
Put all of of your zoodles in a colander and sprinkle with some salt. Mix the salt all around the zoodles. And let it sit for a few minutes, 10-15 minutes will do. This will get all of the extra moisture out of the zucchini. Make sure to drain when you are ready to cook them.
With a tablespoon or so of Olive Oil, cook your Zoodles for a few minutes until they are soft and tender. Usually around 5 minutes is what I find to be best.
Enjoy!
I tried this before and failed miserably. The salting step would have been helpful! lol Thanks for sharing. :)
