Noodle News

Zucchini Noodles are my new favorite food!

My new favorite food is zucchini noodles.  I slice these using my Martha Stewart mandoline and then steam them just a few minutes until tender.  Then I toss them in a bowl with a little butter or olive oil and salt & pepper.  You can use these as the base for anything you would serve over pasta.   The noodles can be roasted instead of steamed; roasting yields a dryer noodle which is good for things like lasagna.  Steaming yields a wetter, softer noodle that is good for things like marinara sauce or meatballs.  Steaming is a quicker option than roasting.  Either way, I think you will like them.
