Turn zucchini into noodles with a veggie peeler

Natizo

I use a Natizo julienne / vegetable peeler to turn zucchini into flat "noodles" and spaghetti noodles. I like them more than pasta.

This excellent peeler is not a unitasker – it's a duotasker! One side slices vegetables into a bunch of thin strips with every stroke. Flip it over and it shaves off wide layers. I made thin noodles the other night. I put all the zucchini noodles in a bowl, added about a tablespoon of salt (to draw out the excess water) and let them sit for 30 minutes. I rinsed the noodles off and dunked them in boiling water for a minute, and topped it with tomato sauce and ground grass-fed beef.

The above photo is a dish my wife made for lunch. She put the strips in a bowl, mixed in a bit of olive oil and crushed garlic, then sautéed for a minute or two. Topped with tomato sauce, we scarfed it down and wish we'd made more.
