So Chad said there was a UPS truck outside the building, my Amazon package was already several days late and turns out it arrived tonight! Merry belated Christmas to me! It's a spiralizer!! The Paderno Spiralizer, it's a little under $30 on Amazon! I yanked it out of the box, unwrapped it and ripped all the stickers off SQUEALING with excitement! I grabbed a large zucchini out of my freshly stocked fridge
Cut the ends off and attatched it to the arm and puched it into the other side!
Then you spin the arm and out comes.....
NOODLES!!!
They are delicious! I ate some raw from this big pile I made from just 1 zucchini
After that I cleaned up the spiralizer, and caught myself on theblade in the process!
Then I steamed the veggies in the microwave with a tiny bit of water in a bowl covered except for one small corner with plastic wrap. And while that happened I whipped up a quick tomato sauce by putting 5 grape tomatoes, thyme, rosemary and basil from my tiny patio herb garden and olive oil in a pan and heating it up for a bit until it makes a nice chunky sauce! So then I got to indulge in a lovely 2nd dinner! (I had already eaten when it arrived!)
There you go! A delicious, simple and pasta-free meal! This is perfect for anyone who eats gluten free or is looking for an alternative to pasta, or is looking to easily up their veggie intake!
With love,
early tuesday
