When I was growing up, one of my favorite dishes was cabbage and buttered noodles. I remember it being so tasty, but in retrospect perhaps not so healthy. I Love pasta but hate the empty carbohydrates and calories of even gluten free pasta. That's why I make zoodles- which are simply sculpted zucchini- made with a simple tool called a sprializer.
Zoodles can be substituted for pasta in any recipe and that's what I used in my zoodles & purple cabbage in ginger sauce. In order to make the zoodles in seconds, you will need to use a spiralizer. This is the one I use and like this style the best. I've tried the cheaper ones that you hold in your hand, but they just don't work for me since I make so much.
This Simple Tool is Amazing
The "spiralizer"turns zucchini or any hard vegetable ( beets, cucumber, sweet potato, kohlrabi) into what looks like spaghetti.
Spiralizers like the one I use run about $29.00 but they are so so so worth it. I use mine at least twice a week and more in the summer. I bought this one: Spiralizer By Palermo- Voted the Best Vegetable Maker,
Spiralizers are really easy to use. I just place a medium zucchini in the spindle and manually turn - out will come beautiful strands of noodle like zucchini that has the texture and kind of the taste of pasta when sauteed.
I make all kinds of zoodle recipes. Previously I made zoodles in Pesto Sauce and Skinny pasta zoodles with onions and garlic .
This time I made a delicious and easy recipe that combined braised purple cabbage with my zucchini noodles. Not only was it beautifully colorful, it was healthy and exceptionally tasty.
