Zucchini Noodles - Au Naturale!

​Do you eat gluten free, low-carb, or just avoid inflammatory grains, but miss eating pasta?  

A spiral slicer is the solution!  It's so much fun!  You can make "noodles" from so many types of produce: zucchini, squash, onions, potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, apples, and more.  It comes with 3 different stainless steel blades to make various size cuts.  

The vegetable slicer is easy to use, is very simple to clean, completely hand powered, and makes beautiful food!  It's a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies, too.  ;-)  

Remember: Zucchini and squash from the grocery store are quite commonly GMO (genetically modified organisms).  They're definitely important to buy organic, even though the cost is higher.

Zucchini Noodles made with the spiral slicer. YUM!

The number of recipe ideas that you can use your spiral slicer with are endless!   Here's just one yummy example:

​This recipe is easy, which is pretty much the only kind of recipe I make; especially since home cookin' takes some effort day after day.  Add any ingredients you like & make it your own!


Instructions:

• Slice 4 nice quality Italian sausages into bite size pieces.  (Sausage from a butcher is great.  Definitely get it without BHA/BHT, added nitrites/nitrates, and other yucky stuff.)
• Slice up 1 red onion with the spiral slicer.
• Put them in a big pan on the stove over medium heat.  
• Add in some healthy oil.  I use avocado oil, butter is fine, too.
• Thrown in some sliced mushrooms.
• Chop up 1/2 a bunch of Italian parsley & add.
• Add garlic, to taste.  
• Add any other spices you like.

• While the meat is cooking on the stove, make your noodles with your spiral slicer.
• To cook, add them to the meat or to a separate stove top pan with a little healthy oil again.
• You want to cook the noodles just until hot, which only takes a few minutes.  They will be al dente'.  If you over-cook them, they'll turn mushy.  
• Serve as-is, or with some natural pasta sauce (no added vegetable oils or corn syrup).  Enjoy!
