Zoodles Two Ways

Zoodles Two Ways

I love zoodles. (noodles made using spiralized vegetables) They are super filling and versatile… and they actually taste really good! I do not have a spiralizer, even if I did I know there is a very good chance I wouldn’t use it. My Whole Foods sells containers of zoodle goodness ready to go, perfect for me & my busy schedule. Zoodles are awesome since they really take no time to make, so as long as I have some in the fridge, I can have dinner on the table in 10 minutes! I have two go-to zoodle recipes I wanted to share with you, because who isn’t looking for a quick and healthy meal?!

Zoodle Two Ways

Tomato Sauce Zoodles:
This is my basic tomato sauce recipe tossed with Zoodles. It is so good, the kids even eat it.

You will need:
Zoodles (I use a combo of zucchini, squash and carrot)
Tomato Sauce (I prefer brands that have no more than 3 grams of sugar per serving)
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
1 cup of Gardein or Quorn crumbles
Ghee

1. Saute the onion and garlic in a bit of ghee until the onions are transparent
2. Add the tomato sauce and crumbles (or real meat of your choice)
3. Simmer for 5
4. Toss in the zoodles and simmer for another 5-10 minutes

I top mine with real Parmesan cheese and it is a delicious and filling meal, that is ready in no time!

Peanut Zoodles:
This is my own variation from a recipe I found on Kelley and Cricket, so I am not going to post the full recipe here, but I will say that I use 2 tablespoons of tamari (instead of 1), I use water instead of broth to thin out the sauce and I use way more than 1-2 tablespoons and instead of maple syrup I use coconut sugar. This peanut sauce (well, almond butter sauce) is SO good. I have to say I also make her sticky garlic noodles ALL THE TIME and it is amazing.

    YUM! These sound so good. We eat quite a few zoodles around here because of my gluten intolerant hubs and vegetarian boys. I definitely need some new recipes though!

    I haven’t gotten on board with zoodles yet, but now I’m intrigued. I’ll have to see if any of my stores carry it. Because like you, I likely wouldn’t make it myself. ๐Ÿ˜†

    Yum! I can’t wait to try the peanut zoodles! I have a spiralizer, and I also love using spaghetti squash. It’s still so weird to me how great they actually taste! I didn’t know Whole foods sold them already made, so I’ll be checking that out too.

    I’ve been wanting to try Zoodles for awhile, but didn’t want to purchase yet ANOTHER gadget for the kitchen. Thanks for sharing where I can find some already prepared! Having these recipes makes me even more excited to head out and get some zoodles. Can’t wait for the kids to try! ๐Ÿ™‚

    those peanut zoodles look amazing. i love peanut butter but i randomly took an allergy test that said i’m allergic so i’ve been trying to substitute most of the time. have you tried sunflower butter?

      I have not, but I did use almond butter. I bet it would work with a substitute though.
