Pasta lovers (alternative)

I wanted to tell you all about this awesome device that turns veggies into pasta. If you haven't heard of it , it's called the Spiralizer . It works great with zucchini and other veggies. I made 2 bowls of this pasta and it was only 100 calories and it tastes so much like regular spaghetti. I've posted a youtube video demo of it. Let me know what you all think of it. I think it's awesome and I had to share it will you all. Cheers http://youtu.be/YVdNRjmMZR4

Pretty cool, but for a low-cost alternative, you can just use a julienne peeler for spaghetti-like zoodles or a regular peeler for a wider zoodle.

Yes, they work really well also.

i use japanese noodles - buckwheat, they're low calorie,. but this sounds like a good option

I love making Zoodles! (I just use a knife though. Takes ages!) I need me one of them :-)

Spaghetti Squash.... it naturally disintegrates into thin spaghetti. lol
I really like your suggestions! :-)

Personally (I am a bit lazy in the kitchen) I use the Barillia high protein pasta when I need a pasta fix.... esp when I run low on meats or our kids get their pasta cravings.

Looks like a good idea, but why are we calling it pasta?

Where do you get one of these, and does it really taste pasta. I am a major pasta lover,

Yes, I didn't believe it myself. I'm living in Italy at the moment and it's been tried by my partner ( whose Italian) and my mother in law and they both loved it.
