When I bought my spiralizer 4 years ago, I wasn't sure if I had just wasted my money on yet another kitchen gadget that I may or may not use. I'm totally a gadget girl! This awesome spiralizer has proven to be a winner in the go-go gadget kitchen department!

Zoodles can be eaten raw, as in a salad, or cooked. You can add zoodles to a soup after the soup has finished cooking, and the heat from the soup will cook them just enough.

You can spiralize so many things: zucchini, butternut squash, beets, apples, potatoes, and more! I think my sister needs one... What a fun gift!

Ingredients
  • 2 Medium Zucchini, spiralized
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Small Sweet Onion, sliced in half rings
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • Zest of ½ of a Lemon, about 1 Tbsp
  • Juice of ½ of a Lemon, about 2 Tbsp
  • ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (½ tsp for spicy)
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 ½ cups Vegetable Broth
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated, plus some for garnish
  • Parsley for garnish
Instructions
Spiralize 2 Medium Zucchini
  1. Cut the ends off of the zucchini and fit one on the spiralizer. Turn the handle while exerting a little pressure to keep it on the spiralizer. When the noodles will come out, place in a bowl lined with a paper towel (to absorb excess water from the zucchini).
  2. Heat a 10-12 inch frying pan on med-high heat, and when it is hot add the olive oil.
  3. Add the onion, and sauté for a few minutes until starting to become translucent.
  4. Add the garlic and butter. Stir, cooking just for a minute so as not to burn it.
  5. Add lemon juice, zest, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, and ½ of the broth. Stir.
  6. Cook for a few minutes and reduce by ⅓.
  7. Add the remaining broth and let cook 2 or 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  8. Add the noodles and gently stir to coat with the sauce.
  9. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until tender (they will still have a little crunch, they are not noodles!).
  10. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
  11. Remove to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley and more Parmesan to taste.
Recipe Notes

If you don't have a spiralizer, you can thinly slice the zucchini.
