Hi, I'm new here and about one month in on being completely raw.
I made a RAW Zucchini Pasta with Marinara Sauce this weekend. It was AWESOME ! I just ordered a spiral slicer online and will be making much more of this recipe in the future. All of my friends at work liked it also !

That's the recipe I use too. I usually skip the olive oil though, or just put in a dash. I love it!! You'll have fun with your spiral slicer!

Yayyy -- enjoy your spiralizer! I honestly use mine all the time and absolutely adore it -- zucchini noodles are one of my favorite go-to quickie meals, YUM.
I also love them with cheezy cashew sauce, which takes just seconds to whir up in the blender. And sometimes just with a bit of olive oil, sundried tomatoes, parsley and black pepper..... SO GOOD.
Another great way to have veggie noodles is in miso soup.... so cozy and warming this time of year!“Strength shows, not only in the ability to persist, but in the ability to start over.”

Thanks for the comments ! I made it again today and only used 2 tsp olive oil to cut down on the amount of fat and it was just as good. I may try it without the oil next time. Can you give me some more ideas on what to use the spiral slicer for ? I was thinking about cucumber ? and making a cute salad with it..

Qwerty988:
thanks for posting that alternative for the pasta. I used to like the marinara, now I just don't, but like the zucchini pasta.

I can hardly wait to get a spiralizer! I really hope I like zucchini noodles because I love pasta. I was thinking about getting the Benriner one from Amazon. I know it's a bit more expensive but it sounds like it's a little better made and it would last longer.

Sunshine, the QVC website has the exact same model for just $27 -- shipping included!! That's where I got mine, per suggestion by DebB! (Thanks again, Deb!)
@JuicingJuli.... You're welcome! I'm sure I read all those suggestions from other people here on the site, hahahahaa! I love this place.

Thanks qwerty. I popped over there but I couldn't find it any where. I don't know how QVC works, do things come back around again? I'd love to find it for that price!

Awwwwwww....... you're right! I just checked and they have the IDENTICAL spiralizer they've always sold at $21 re-priced for $37.00 as the "World Cuisine" brand...... sorry, this same product was available at the lower price just a few weeks ago.

I've seen the World Cuisine one on Amazon and I wasn't impressed by it. The cheaper ones like Joyce Chen have comments that make me not even want to try it. I love kitchen gadgets but I'm a bit tired of getting burned by cheap plastic tools that don't last! I'll keep an eye out, maybe they'll get more in before I decide I can't wait any longer to have one. LOL

I had zucchini pasta for lunch and put homemade salsa on it with an avocado on the side. Awesome!!!

Yes - sadly QVC stopped carrying the lower priced spiral slicer (Booooo!) It was a great price, the cheapest I'd found online. Good to know that they've got the "World Cuisine" brand there qwerty. We can always hope it's a TSV in the future...

My absolute favorite noodles to spiralize are cucumber noodles! Toss them with raw, organic black sesame seeds and an Asian sauce and you've got a great dinner! Originally Posted by texasnewf
