Do zoodles taste like pasta? Do zoodles taste good?

Zoodles do not have a strong taste like pasta. The zoodles will absorb the flavor from the ingredients, spices, and sauce you decide to use. They’re a great base for whatever flavor you feel like making!

Are zucchini noodles high in carbs?

Let’s compare: 2 cups of wheat pasta have 480 calories, 90 grams of carbs, and 2 grams of fiber. 2 cups of zucchini zoodles have 66 calories, 12 grams of carbs, and 4 grams of fiber. Interesting, huh?

How do you make zucchini noodles not soggy?

A pro tip for making sure your zoodles are not soggy is to pat the zucchini noodles dry with a paper towel after spiralizing them or follow my method for getting some of the extra water out of the zucchini in this post. Also, don’t cook them! Raw zoodles work well even in warm pasta dishes since the sauce warms them up just enough.

Ingredients

Scale

1–2 large zucchini (340g)
1 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled
1 Tbsp shredded Parmesan (8g)
salt & pepper to taste

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Using manufacturer instructions, spiralize the zucchini. (I have this spiralizer and love it!)
Spread the zucchini on a kitchen towel and cover with a second towel. Roll up gently from the end and allow the zucchini to sit for 10 minutes.
Unroll the zucchini and place in a bowl.
Add the cooled, melted butter and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper!

Notes

Start with room temperature butter and zoodles.
I use this spiralizer to make my zoodles.
A julienne peeler works too if you don’t have space for a spiralizer.
Using a nifty butter crock like this one means you can keep your butter at room temp. Perfect for butter parmesan zoodles or slathering on a fresh slice of baked bread!
