in a long time. But when I got more zucchini in my CSA box, I knew I had to use it to make some zucchini noodles. Now, in my opinion, the “noodles” sort of look like noodles, but they don’t taste like noodles. But it’s a very fun and tasty way to eat zucchini.I started by spiralizing the zucchini.
Then I made a simple tomato/basil sauce.
Tomato/Basil Sauce
Ingredients
- Tomatoes (I used about a cup of grape tomatoes)
- Basil (I used 5 big leaves)
- Garlic (I used 1 clove)
- Olive oil (I used 1 teaspoon)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Feta cheese, to sprinkle over the finished dish
Then, I topped the zucchini noodles with the tomato/basil sauce and a little feta cheese.
The tomato/basil sauce was very flavorful and went really well with the zucchini noodles. It was a quick, fun, and tasty lunch! I see myself eating this dish a lot during the summer!
Questions: Have you ever made “vegetable noodles?” If so, did you like them? I have mainly made zucchini noodles with my spiralizer
, and I like them a lot. While they do not taste like noodles to me, it’s a delicious and fun way to eat zucchini. What would you like to see me spiralize next? I need some ideas… Be well,
Andrea
Those colors are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have never made veggie noodles, aside from using spaghetti squash. I just love this idea!
i've never made vegetable "noodles" before, but they look so neat!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so vivid and the spiral looks like so much fun. I can just taste the sweetness of the fresh zucchini. I'll bet my grandkids would think the spirals were a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful. I don't have a spiralizer but I've made zucchini noodles with a vegetable peeler. They are yummy! Have a wonderful weekend Andrea!!
ReplyDeleteI love how refreshing this dish is, all of the ingredients are so fresh! And the spiralizer makes eating these veggies fun. What would I spiralize? Sweet potatoes to bake for spiral fries.
ReplyDeleteLove your idea! I have never spiraled anything in my life, but it sure looks fun, and I bet my kids would have fun spiraling too! Your sauce looks delicious as well, and so easy!
ReplyDeleteyou should try daikon - i've made daikon fettucine before!
ReplyDeleteThat just looks delicious. I love all the flavors, and its so healthy too, I just don't have the gadget to make the noodles. Hhhm, I see a trip to the culinary store in my future.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteGosh I forgot how much I wanted a spiralizer. I have made "grated" noodles and a fresh sauce just like that
ReplyDeleteoh boy it's the best raw dish ever!
good for you.
Summer must be coming, raw foods are everwhere!
have a great weekend, what's left of it
:)
This looks like something I would totally love! I know I say this all the time but I think we have very similar tastes in food.
ReplyDeletePS SOrry I haven't been a very good blogger friend. I fell waaaay behind reading the few blogs that I do read and have had a hard time catching up.
What a great idea! Zucchini noodles :D)!! Thanks for sharing this simple yet yummy recipe :)
ReplyDeletei would love to try zucchini "noodles!"
ReplyDeletei had a spirulizer on my christmas list but did not receive it...i'm going to put it back on again this year (if i don't pick one up before) because it looks like a lot of fun!
im obsessed with how the noodles are curly like cute piggy tails!! hehe <3
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a spirulizer before but I am always looking for things to do with the unrelenting CSA zucchini. WIll need to check this out for this year's harvest--assuming we someday get warm weather in Wisconsin ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy son's fiance and I took a two day raw cooking class at Bastyr University lately and we used a spiralizer for several dishes like this. It was so simple to use and makes such a pretty presentation. I'm going to have to invest in one! What a healthy, fresh and flavorful meal!
ReplyDeleteI need to get my spiralizer out again! It's been too long.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I've seen those before, but never did it myself!! I bet everyone loved it.
ReplyDeleteYum!! Thanks for the reminder i need to pull mine out of the cupboard. What about carrots?
ReplyDeleteThe one gadget I don't own, maybe I need one. This looks refreshing and beautiful not to mention healthy. I'm going to tweet this one.
ReplyDeleteI made spaghetti squash just last night! I made an au gratin bake that I thought was really yummy. My husband just said, yeah, I don't really like squash. Whatever. More for me!
