How to Make Zucchini Noodles Fast - Create Veggie Pasta for a Healthy Meal

If you are trying to follow a low carb, keto, paleo or gluten free diet, or simply want a change from regular flour based pasta, then try zucchini noodles.

Once you include them in your favorite recipe you really won't notice the flour missing.  It is nice to have alternatives and yet enjoy the dishes you always loved.

Check out this video for the quickest ways to create them.

All you really need to give this a try is a vegetable peeler or a box grater.  You don't have to own any fancy equipment especially if you are just wanting to try it out.

I personally find these noodles are perfect for taking the place of not only pasta but rice, especially in those stir frys.

So if you have been told to follow a low carb diet, or you simply want to lose a few pounds and eat more veggies at the same time, then stock up on some zucchini or grow them yourself.  They are such a versatile veggie and affordable in the grocery store.

Zucchini Pasta

Super easy!

1.  Simply create the noodles (follow the above video) and I like to roll them in a paper towel to get out the excess moisture.  Zucchinis tend to be on the wet side, so this stops them from going mushy.

2.  Heat a pan and add a bit of oil and then the noodles

3.  Stir fry and stir around for 3-5 minutes until tender.

4.  Add your favorite tomato sauce, meatballs or just Parmesan cheese.

That is it!

Super tasty.  You won't even miss the regular noodles if you put your favorite toppings on, or you can use these in a quick stir fry and skip the rice.

or...

create the noodles, stir fry for a few minutes then add cooked chicken and beans and bit of broth and dinner is ready.

If you like the idea of the mandolin as in the video, you can get those online:



This is a great tool for slicing any veggie.

Or if you prefer them to look super fancy and cute, you can also get what is called a spiralizer, which can take any number of veggies (such as carrots and zucchini) and turn them into colorful noodles that look awesome on a plate.


Keto - Paleo - Gluten Free Diets If you are seriously trying to eat healthy whether to lose weight or simply feel better, then it doesn't hurt to invest in the right equipment to make life easier.

 As you can see by the above spirolizer, it can grate any veggie and make it a good looking addition to any meal, such as carrots, beats, cabbage, zucchini and more.

Perfect for salads as well as main meal recipes.

Zucchini Noodles Taste Awesome As Lasagna Too!

I made this one not long ago and it was awesome.

TIP:  Slice into wider noodles.  Place on a paper towel or tea towel and place another on top and press to get rid of any excess moisture, or pre-bake in oven for a few minutes to dry them out a bit.  I found the towels worked fine.

Then create the recipe as you normally would and bake it.  Your body won't miss the wheat or the carbohydrates that regular noodles have.  If you can't eat flour then using veggies as a substitute means you can still enjoy some of your favorite foods and recipes!
