Alright I just bought one of these gadgets. I’m doing low carb and miss having rice and pasta as a foundation to pile other stuff on top of.

Is there a particular kind of squash that’s recommended and can you really get close to the texture and flavor of real pasta?

Fresh zucchini about 1/2” diameter, use the large noodle end spiralizer. One medium zucchini equals about a serving. Microwave four serving size about five minutes. Problem sometimes with excess liquid but not like spaghetti squash.

Just discovered a world of recipes for “zoodles”. Tastes good enough that I’m done with pasta. Bolognese sauce goes good, or stir up chow mein & serve over zoodles. Used to like rice a lot, too.

Bon appetit!
