Ninav on How to Turn Zucchini into Pasta!

Instead of pasta, my friend Ninav from Calorie Count loves to substitute zucchini! Her method is so simple and accessible that it is a fantastic way to make a lovely work night meal. Zucchini has only 20 calories per cup, a lot fewer calories than pasta -so enjoy this as often as you like!

How to Turn Zucchini into Pasta

Use either a julienne peeler or a vegetable peeler and make wide strips of "noodles".

Lightly sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 min.

Then rinse, squeeze off the excess water.

Eat it raw, microwave, or sauté it for a few minutes to heat it up.

Try it! You'll be surprised!

Using the New Print Button!

Have you noticed the new print button at the bottom of each post? I love it!

There is a trick to using it though -

You need to click on the title of the recipe you want so that it opens in its own page. Then click the print button. I chose this button because you can decide exactly what to do with the page - print as is, eliminate the picture, only print the ingredients or whatever part you want, enlarge or shrink the font, and you can even save it as a pdf!

Enjoy!
