A question about ZUCCHINI NOODLES

So I have a secret. I hate all forms of pasta. I don't like the smell or the texture, it makes me gag. That being said I keep hearing about zucchini noodles and am wondering if I might like these. Has anyone made them? Are they slimy like pasta or more on the crunchy side? Anyone have a good recipe on how to make them (the cooking part)?

It all depends on how long you cook them. I don't care too much for them mushy so I saute them very briefly (if at all) and mix it with whatever I am having.0

Ah yes - I could see liking the texture more sauted.

I sauté on very high heat--like a little color on the outside but still maintain a "crunch"0

I blanch mine for 20 seconds just to heat but so still almost raw, I love the crunch!0

Great ideas! I think I'm going to grab a couple squash at the Farmers Market tomorrow morning.0

they are so good! I had them with as spaghetti and meat sauce last night and as the base for a Korean beef bowl the night before. Tonight will be zoodle chicken pad thai. It makes it easy to eat what the rest of my family is eating but lower the calories and provides a bit of volume that fits into my caloric goal. They, of course had pasta, rice and rice noodles with those dinners but its so easy to separate a bit out and serve my portion with zoodles!0

Love love love them, I either saute just for a few seconds to warm them or just raw on plate with sauce over them, so yummy. Here is a photo of zucchini zoodle baked ziti, google the recipe so good, my fav dish

You might also want to consider pumpkin, carrot or beetroot noodles, which I love making too.
