How to make "noodles" out of Zucchini and Cucumber

[gamergirl 4,610]

So my husband created a video showing how this can be done. Have a look and it's our first video so if you want to leave us feedback on youtube, that will really help.

I actually have quite a few recipes on my blog that are all sleeve-friendly. www.sleevers.wordpress.com

I first learned about zuchinni noodles from The World According to Eggface blog, I bought an OXO julienne tool with extra tiny holes and it makes perfect spaghetti noodles which I blanche just enough to make them limp.

Great video! Thanks to your husband for making & sharing it with us. I think I am going to get one.

Awesome! How do you cook them? I assume they wouldn't need to fully boil like regular Pasta noodles do. Do you saute them instead? Do they taste good with spaghetti sauce or even just with some garlic salt and olive oil? I love spaghetti squash so I am sure I will like noodles made out of zucchini!

The cucumber ones do not need to be cooked at all. Fresh and crunchy! The zucchini ones, you can sauté in a little oil until they are it soggy and get a bit crisp and crunchy. I love spaghetti squash myself but I love these more. They don't have much of a taste and so you can actually taste the sauce made. Spaghetti sauce would work well.
