We both love pasta, but wish that it were healthier. We decided to try making noodles out of squash. We used summer squash and zucchini to make our noodles and love the way they came out.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- 1 summer squash
- Pinch of salt
- Olive oil
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini and summer squash.
- After peeling, use the peeler to create ribbons of squash by peeling one layer at a time. After each ribbon turn the squash a little bit, stopping when you reach the seeds.
- Heat a pan to medium-high heat. Add just enough olive oil to coat the pan.
- Season the squash noodles with a pinch of salt, and add half to the pan. Cook while stirring for 2 – 3 minutes until the squash is translucent and begins to bend easily. Then transfer the noodles to a serving platter.
- Repeat step 4 for the remaining noodles.
- Toss the noodles in sauce or add your favorite pasta toppings.
