Our New Spiralizer

Spiralizing

A friend told us about her Spiralizer, she says she makes spaghetti and noodles out of vegetables and potatoes. I loved the name right away.

The Spiralizer sounds like one of those “fantastic” kitchen gadgets you see sold from ads on cable channels after midnight.

It cost $39, is made out of cheap plastic, and works like a charm. The Spiralizer is a devious and crafty little tool, it turns fresh vegetables into noodles, basically.

I ordered it immediately from Amazon, and it arrived two days ago. Even I could put it together, all I have to do is choose the blades which decide how thin or thick the “noodles” are or how much they spiral, and insert them. It is almost impossible to mess up.

We put oneĀ  large zucchini from our garden into The Spiralizer – I love the name – and then twisted the wheel and we had broccoli spaghetti. You can saute it or bake it, I threw some virgin olive oil in a pain and sauteedĀ  the veggie pasta for two minutes.

I put some parmesan cheese on it and drained it and we both loved it. It tastes fresh and looked just like pasta. This is going to work out, a way to eat fresh vegetables make it look like something else.
