I love both! The "zoodles" are the closest thing to a pasta swap, if that is what you are looking for. Btw, the chicken enchiladas were a hit!

Are you going to precook the spiralized zucchini before adding them in with the rest of the ingredients?

I always cook it in chicken stock for a few minutes so that it gets tender (more like spaghetti). Also, after you spiralize it, you might want to cut it a little. Some of the strands are really long!

I don't think so. If you go to the website, they tell you how to store certain spiralized vegetables, and what freezes well. The sturdier veggies seem to hold up better. I usually make mine and cook right away.

Thanks!

There is an online cook book that you can look to for recipes. I have found some pretty good ideas. For example, butternut squash mac and cheese. The recipes are on the spiralizer website. I just like the fact that I have a delicious swap for pasta.

Beyond curly fries and zoodles and apples (apoodles? lol) is there anything else I could conceivably use this for? I would love one, and I think DH and DD would find it fascinating, but I can't justify squeezing in another unitasker. I tend to be very Alton Brown in that regard.

I just used mine last night for "zoodles" and meatballs. It was a huge hit with my family! In fact I had to spiralize an extra zucchini because they were gobbling it up. I honestly did not even miss the actual pasta. I will definitely be making again and again.

I am tempted to get one but I use a julienne peeler for zoodles.

PP, you can microwave or saute the zoodles.

What is ghee?

Clarified butter used a lot in Indian food

A lot of people on a raw food diet use spiralizers to make healthy, raw, noodle- like food for a meal. I think squash is commonly used. I've been debating buying one, but I have enough junk in my kitchen.

You can get spiralizer recipes online. I want to try the butternut squash, with sausage and kale. Yum!
