Do zoodles taste like real noodles or do they taste like a vegetable?  

Zucchini spiral cut noodles or spaghetti squash noodles if steamed for a few minutes as opposed to cooked in water and then making use of a tomato sauce or something similar will taste like regular noodles. Just started using them 4 months ago myself, and I have replaced real spaghetti pasta noodles with these. Tastes good !!!! I have a picture of them completed with 96%lean meat/tomato sauce in my journal if you'd like to see what it comes out as......if you cook them like regular noodles they will become mushy and very soggie. Steaming them for 2 to 5 minutes or dependant upon your microwave will come out nicely.....then add the meat or tomato sauce.... Hope you enjoy. :)  

Well that does sound quiet delicious thank you for the tip. I've never tried them I need to get me one of those things that will cut the Zucchini in spirals. Although I did see Aldi's has them already cut. Thanks again! 

@kellywilliams2 ---> Yes, you can purchase pre-cut at most grocery stores just make certain they are fresh in vegetable areas most times (meijer/krogers/aldis/farm markets) and ensure they have no additives. Fresh is best for quality purposes..... Bon appetite !!! Let me know how they work out for ya....  

@rosanisanchez, I just want you to know your meal pic is nicely done..... I just wanted to provide a different approach to using regular pasta. Just use the zucchini in spiral noodle form as your pasta ---it is a better alternative if you or other persons are looking to lose weight..... 

They taste a bit as a vegetable, but no to much. I still eat regular pasta because if I didn't, the meal will be so low at kcal, was a small amount 

Alternatives to zucchini or spaghetti squash noodles? Either would put me in anaphylaxis, and I like breathing better than losing weight. ☺️ 

@markiesmommy06, Alternatives to your breathing issue and allergic reactions would be use a sweet potato, regular potato, eggplant, cucumbers, watermelon rind, carrots, beets, apple, pear, etc........these are all great options to healthy eating and each can be made in a spiralizer or some pre-cut spirals at the local store. It will act as a substitute to pasta or those items you say will create an allergic reaction. Good luck !!! :D
