HOW TO COOK ZUCCHINI NOODLES | everything you need to know about zoodles

[@rmyerscmi]

I mix these in with regular spaghetti. 2/3 zoodles, 1/3 regular spaghetti. Put on the sauce and any toppings as you normally would. You've just cut 2/3 of the calories out of the dish and you really won't miss the extra pasta. You get a nice big plate of food, bumped up the nutrition and lowered the calories! Easiest way to cook is to add them in with the spaghetti for the last 2 minutes of cooking.

[@popings]

Nice, I do something similar with white rice and cauliflower rice

[@joanmcdonald3367]

I sauteed some mushroom, onion and garlic first. Removed that from pan and sauteed the zoodles. Added the veggies back to the pan with the cooked zoodles and added 2 heaping tablespoons of diced tomatoes. Sautee all together for another minute. Delicious!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

yum!

[@bendietrees]

I cooked beef, mushrooms, garlic, added Italian herbs and pasta sauce and mixed it with my zoodles...can't wait to chow down!

[@elisaleoncini3858]

Add chicken or tuna to it Yummy!!

[@davidahart2476]

That does sound good

[@julieankhan.2801]

Like that but Id add sun dried tomatoes yum

[@dinobitchegg1]

I love using zucchini to replace noodles in soups! I found that it works pretty well as a noodle replacement in udon soup. Chicken zoodle soup is another favourite!

[@JesMarie_W3]

Do the zoodles become mush in chicken zoodle soup? To avoid that possibility, would you add the zoodles last after the soup is finished cooking? Thank you.

[@VALDiesel01]

Yup, I heard THAT line too and came straight to the comments, and its literally the first thing I see people talking about.

I've been making zoodles with my veggeti since it came out! :) I use zoodles in pho instead of rice noodles, with a cottage cheese sauce as an alfredo, with homemade marinara sauce as spaghetti, just fried up with garlic and pepper and sometimes just steamed with mrs dash salt free seasonings! Zoodles are great!

[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Melissa Delorme I agree! They are SO good... and so versatile. Thanks for sharing all of these ideas.

[@KateKunkel]

I love zoodles. My favorite is to mix the raw veggie with a dressing made of olive oil, sesame seeds, garlic and ginger. Also use a bit of raw carrot run through the noodle maker. It's delicious, satisfying, and a very good quick meal.

Thanks for making this video, Dani! Tonight my wife and I are trying Zoodles for the first time. We have the spiralizer attachment for our Kitchen Aid mixer. Making zoodles with that is easy peasy, but a bit more waste (or add ins!). We're doing Keto and really miss pasta. Thanks again!

I would love an updated video dealing with the liquid that comes out of zoodles. I keep trying zoodles with a sauce and always get a pool of liquid. Please help! :) I love your 101 videos for these healthy staples.

Add salt, massage in, and let sit for 1 hour. Place in milk nut bag and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Use paper toweling to finish patting dry.

[@leah3084]

Mix water, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper. Pour on the zoodles. Should taste sweet and sour, I do it with cucumbers and it tastes like the Sunomono Japanese salad which I love, only without the noodles.

[@andreisrael8904]

Thanks so much for this! My wife and I just made them how you said, and they were delicious! We cooked them in the pan with avocado oil, but I guess that part doesn't matter, as any healthier oil should do, and we put lean ground chicken with Classico pasta sauce on top, and sprinkled parmesan cheese. It was so good! Gonna try the microwave method next time. I need to buy more zucchinis now! 🙂

I’ve been interested in this for a minute, I love pasta but it’s so high in calories that I cut it off completely and haven’t had pasta in a while, thank you for the video ❤🥺

Loved your recipes. Harvest zucchini daily and its coming out of my ears. Zucchini bread, fratata, bacon fry, lasagna, breaded Italian sliced, and now ready for noodles. I want to see my husband's face when I substitute the spaghetti with the zoodles. Just made sauce and meatballs yesterday, so these will be a quick prepare tonight. Another one bites the dust, here at Zucchini Nation. Thanks so much for your prep/ cooking tips.

[@Kenzie.brewer]

Thank you for showing me how to use the slicer - I just bought the exact same one but couldn't figure out how to use it. This was my first time ever making zoodles as well. Thanks for helping.

[@jtbearcllaw8002]

Never have heard of Zoodles before. But Danni if you came up with this, trademark it!. I see in time, a "Clean and Delicious" line of food cooking techniques in the near future at whole food stores. It's only a beginning for you to something more than you may have imagined!! I've had in my past, the same thought with AMZN, GOOG, ULTA, etc. You truly have what it takes!! TY, JT

[@amyrivers4093]

I'm making teriyaki chicken and will also cook zoodles with the same sauce. I only have one metre of intestine left after many operations to remove blocked parts of my intestine due to having crohns disease since I was a little girl. This really restricts how much I can eat and also whether I can digest things or not. I also have other illnesses that complicate my nutrition and I was given two years to live eleven years ago when I was 32 but I'm determined to live to see my niece and nephew grow up even though my health and ability to do things is becoming worse. The hardest part was having to give up teaching and being a foster Mum. I also have aspergers which means I don't like trying new food and the texture of food is a big deal for me. I also struggle to eat combinations of food for example I would never eat a stir-fry but I will eat the ingredients separately. So I will have teriyaki chicken on one side of my plate and teriyaki zoodles on the other (it frustrates me so I can only imagine how hard it was for my Mum when I was little). Over the past few years I've been challenging myself to try a new food item every couple of weeks. This week it's courgettes so I appreciate your knowledge on this. Thank you. Xx

[@dorkcycle]

Hi- I have stopped cutting the stem end off first because the teeth of handle bite into it better and don't strip out your zucchini!

[@PersonalFitness3]

Thank you for sharing this VIDEO; although very FUNNY with some of the things you were saying like, "if the Zucchini is too big it won't fit inside the [Vaggetti]", it was very helpful. I was wondering if the "Zoodles" had to be cooked, but I read a previous comment below and I think some people also like it in its raw form. I really like how compact, portable and easy it is to use the Veggetti. I just got the Veggetti PRO and I can't wait to try it out on Zucchini and other vegetables. Now I just have to find the three "Zoodle" recipes in one VIDEO you made. Do you remember the title?

[@torgeirmolaug196]

I don't have "this little cap", that's why I leave the stalk on and use it as a handle to spiralize more of the zucchini.

[@BobRooney290]

they will never replace pasta. that being said, they do help in cutting your pasta portion. i go halfsies on zoodles and pasta, which in turn cuts the calories in half. i used to just cube zucchini in my red sauce, but this is better.

[@AriKhuu]

I picked up a veggetti spiralizer after watching this video. My favorite way is to serve zoodles with light Alfredo sauce and baked chicken. I do my weekly meal prep with raw zoodles covered in sauce, then when I want to eat my meal, I only need to microwave everything for 2 minutes and it's all perfectly cook. Remember to use less sauce than you think you would need when meal prepping, because zoodles release some water and thin out the sauce: you don't want zoodle soup, jut zoodle sauce. Also I love using yellow squash, the yellow color really makes it taste like pasta lol.

I salted them before cooking and used paper towels to dry them before cooking, I cooked them the same way except I added 1/4 cup of water, they came out pretty good, the only thing is that zucchinis are pretty slimy and overcooking them makes the texture a little less than desired. Still good with basil pesto though.
