Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 A friend gave me a very large zucchini (think plastic, toddler-sized, fat baseball bat) and I cut it into julienne strips with my new mandolin. (This is a vegetable chopper-thingy, not a musical instrument. I never heard of one before last week.) I dried out some of the " noodles " in the oven, on a clean towel for about an hour, with the oven turned off after heating to 250. Then, I heated a pan up, put in some olive oil and a bit of butter and a heap of the noodles. Then I sprinkled them with salt and garlic and sauteed them on fairly high heat until they were tender. YUM! My son, who hates zucchini, asked for more and is asking me now to make some more because he's still hungry. This is a major success in my kitchen! Son ASKING for zucchini! So, I'm off to make more. Oh, and the part I didn't tell was that I made one batch and decided to try it and ate the whole (small) panful while waiting for everyone to get home for dinner and had to make a second pan for everyone else. I wasn't very hungry for salmon after that! I'm thinking of spaghetti and meatballs... Whoo hoo! Doesn't take much to make me happy these days!
