By now, you’ve bought your spiralizer and you’re {im}patiently wait for it to arrive. In the meantime, you’re drooling over my recipes, right? Riiight. Don’t worry, you can still eat zucchini pasta by using other methods. They don’t create “noodles” like the spiralizer- the veggies comes out more like a slaw, but tastes similarly delicious. Also if you haven’t bought a spiralizer yet, this is a great way to test the waters.
HOWEVER, you shouldn’t really cook these types of zucchini pasta: they become too mushy when put over heat. (at least the peeled and julienned ones). When you use a julienne or peeler, you don’t get a solid thickness/density, which is essential for cooking the zucchini. They do work for cold sauces (like pesto), but don’t create those little spirals that remind you of pasta!
