Raw Zucchini Noodles Galore | How to Make Your Own
There's a new kind of pasta on the block. If you haven't been introduced to raw zucchini pasta, it's a clever idea worth knowing. With a julienne peeler, turn raw zucchini into a pasta-like noodle. It took merely moments for me to make the above bowl of zucchini noodles. Toss with a fine olive oil and fresh herbs, pesto or favorite marinara. Then add grated parmesan and see what noodle you enjoy more: pasta or zucchini?
A julienne peeler has tiny teeth that cut fine strands. It has many uses in the kitchen so it warrants a place in the drawer. This one is from Kinpira, priced under $20 on Amazon. Make long strokes, taking the firm outer flesh down to the seeds, then rotate the zucchini, cutting all sides. Discard the core. Zucchini noodles can also be purchased in the produce department . But if you are making your own noodles, one zucchini is adequate for one serving.
