Erin,

My pleasure; this is a favorite at our house, and a regular during the height of zucchini season!

Your website is such a great resource! I have been making this alternative noodle pasta for some time and loved seeing it here too! We have to get the word out that pasta pales in comparison to squash alternatives!
Please check out my blog and the post I wrote on Pasta Sans Pasta in particular:

A summer (or quick) spaghetti meal suggestion: This takes advance prep. Learn how to use a pressure canner, & make a HUGE batch of spaghetti sauce & can it. Then, you have YOUR sauce & it only needs to be warmed up. Cut a spaghetti squash in half & take out the seeds. Put it in your crockpot on low with a LITTLE water. It’ll cook up well enough to work, & you get a quickie, gluten free spaghetti meal. And, of course, those shelves full of home-canned goodies your grandma used to have in the basement were some of the best insurance against bad economic times.

This looks fantastic! We’ve been utilizing spaghetti squash (I know, not in season, but we’re growing some in our garden!) but love zucchini . . . we may have to find this tool!

I wonder how it’d fare with butternut squash in the winter.

Best,

Thanks for this recipe! I make my own sourdough whole wheat pasta and it’s very good, but a lot of work, so an occasional substitute would be nice! Also, I know that we’ll be having tons of zucchini coming soon, so it’s good to have another way to use it. Way to kill two birds with one stone!

Nurturing Wisdom,

Yes, those gadgets are incredible! It’s so much fun to use, too! Good luck weaning the family; my kids really do like this pasta, but then again my kids platently refuse Oreos when offered them, so they’re kinda weird. But change is totally possible!
