I had wanted a spiralizer for a while, especially seeing so many food bloggers posting delicious zucchini noodle recipes, but my husband didn’t think we needed another “kitchen gadget,” until he surprised me on Christmas with this…

I know, you are probably thinking a spiralizer for my Christmas gift? How unromantic! It was actually the BEST gift ever because I can now make zucchini noodles and all kinds of cool spirals with various veggies! It’s much easier (and safer) then using our mandolin slicer.

Since Christmas I have been making lots of zucchini noodle dishes and last week’s was the best…a spin off from my Cauliflower Rice recipe, Zucchini Mediterranean Pasta, a simple one-pot meal made in less than 30 minutes (perfect for week nights!).
