I have no idea how to make zucchini noodles. Do you have to have special equipment? I hear so many of you talking about them, and I have no clue how to make them.
Thanks!!!!

I just bought a tool to make zucchini noodles. It was about $14 at Bed Bath and Beyond. Works pretty well! It is a nice change of pace over sliced, sautéed zucchini.

Suzanne Somers has a recipe for zucchini noodles as part of a low/no carb mac and cheese recipe in her Fast -n-Easy book.

I just cut the zucchini into thin slices with a knife and substitute them for lasagna noodles.

I have a peeler that I can use. I hate to go out and buy some gadget.
Okay, now, any good recipes with the noodles?
How do you work with them like pasta?

I make them all the time now, instead of using pasta. The noodles have good mouth feel so I don't miss pasta at all. They are so delicious with a meat sauce over top. I have a spiralizer that does a great job. There is also a julienne slicer too, that works well. I have sauteed them and boiled them; I think sauteing works the best. You need to use them right a way or they give off alot of water. I am going to try them in lasagna and also with an alfredo sauce. I usually use green zuchini and yellow summer squash together for nice color. I add garlic and salt/pepper and use olive oil in the pan. It takes maybe 5 minutes to cook them.

Wagirl...
Thanks... that explains a lot. I'm going to do the saute and add some onions too. I just couldn't comprehend how you make them soft like noodles. Can't wait to try soon.

I love this whole concept, I made "noodles" with a cucumber this week. Made sesame noodles with it, was so good and much less calories than with the fetuccine I used to use, in fact I had not made it in years
I actually upgraded from the Vegettie to a "fancier" one like the Cooks Essentials they had here recently.

l love making "zoodles" with my Spiralife, which I purchased from Amazon upon a recommendation from LoLa who is a super fantastic poster of recipes here. My husband, a meat and potatoes person, will even eat a dinner made with zoodles, using one of LoLa's recipes. Now that's saying something.
Jack, I like your idea of using cucumbers and could definitely picture myself creating an Asian salad with my zoodles, a bit of sesame oil, sesame seeds, and a bunch of other stuff thrown in. Also, thanks for the link.
(The Spiralife I have makes spaghetti-like zoodles, as well as flat zoodles appropriate for creating a lasagna.)
