pretending zucchini is pasta

got a giant zucchini?  try this:

1. slice thin

i used a cheese plane.

note: this zucchini was huge - these slices were 1/3 the width.

2. boil in salted water

until just tender - 4 or 5 min.

3. spread with filling & roll 

homemade pesto - yum!

they were delicious!

we took them to the river & shared with friends.

perfect picnic food - no fork needed.

not all of the slices were roll-able.

for the bits & pieces that fell apart,

i just treated them like noodles

& mixed the pesto right in.

not quite as pretty, but still delicious.

these zucchini noodles - zoodles?

would be so good with chunky tomato sauce.

i want to use them to make lasagna.

such a great alternative

to dense, doughy noodles.
