My experience with spiralizer started with this recipe a few years ago. It has become a staple in our family. If you don’t have a spiralizer in your kitchen, just thinly slice zucchini lengthwise to form spaghetti-like strands. It will take longer but works for the first-timers. If you like this recipes and decide to include it into your meal plan, invest in a good spiralizer. It saves a ton of time. You can start with a simple one like this or more advanced by OXO.
