Zucchini Spaghetti-- Grain free, gluten free

Is there a way to enjoy spaghetti without the noodles?
YES!

This spiralizer can be purchased online for about $40 or less. It is quick and easy to make noodles with squash-- and the clean-up is a breeze.  I use zucchini to make noodles-- they are very mild and the consistency comes out like noodles.



I found these cute little individualized ceramic dishes at Walmart, and use them for me and Noah, because we like to use Organic Muir Glen spaghetti sauce.  Jeff and the boys like the Organic Bertolli sauce, so we make theirs in a large ceramic dish.


This meal takes about 10 - 15 minutes to prepare, then about 30-40 minutes to bake.

When zucchini noodles cook, they produce quite a bit of liquid.  We have addressed this 2 different ways.

  1. Bake the noodles first, then pour off water before you add spaghetti sauce and cheese
  2. Add zucchini noodles, cover with spaghetti sauce and grated cheese, bake, then pour the excess liquid off after the meal has baked.
Experiment and see what works best for you.  Add a small salad and you have a wonderful, satisfying, gluten-free meal.
