Zucchini 'Noodles' image

A tasty and fairly simple way for people on a gluten-free or wheat-free diet to enjoy a noodle dish. I usually use 4 zucchini and 2 summer squash for a colorful mix.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 zucchini
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons margarine
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini into thin, noodle-like strips (a mandoline works well for this). Toss with the 2 teaspoons salt, and place in a colander to drain for 30 minutes.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil. Add zucchini; cook for one minute. Drain; rinse immediately with cold water to stop cooking.
  • Heat margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add zucchini and garlic; cook and stir until just tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
