In reply to Natalia. The recipe says to only saute the garlic for 30 seconds - it shouldn't burn that quickly unless you have your element on very high heat.

In reply to Olivia. There is no extra prep required - I have personally never had any problem with the zucchini being soggy. I know cucumber has a lot of water but I've never had that problem with zucchini or any other veggie I have spiralized.

I have made this for my boyfriend and I. Wow, it is so awesome. I found a giant can of crushed tomatoes at Costco for $5.00 and made a quadruple batch – It is so much better than the bottled sauces that I used to buy. Thanks for sharing! Next – time to order the Inspiralizer – I have a different kind and while it is good, I think this one may be better. (I got the other one because it is cheaper)

I have tried to make zucchini noodles multiple times in the past and they’ve always turned out very soggy. I even tried to lay them out to let some of the moisture drain before eating them. I don’t see anything in your recipes about what to do after spiralizing the vegetables – are most of them just good to go right away? Or is there additional prep required? I haven’t tried any other vegetables yet, but zucchini tends to hold a lot of water.

Thank you!

So weird to cook garlic first (that’s not traditional for the Italians) before onions/shallot. Are you sure you’re an Italian? Always cook onions/shallot or anything else first before garlic. Garlic cooked faster than onions and it goes bad; that taste terrible with overcooked garlic. I recommend to add balsamic vinegar for a kick of flavor.

Made this last night for dinner – I had everything on hand except for San Marzano tomatoes, so I went ahead and made it with a can of regular old hunt’s and it was still fantastic, so I bet it’s only better with the san marzanos! I also added a pinch of red pepper flake for a tiny bit of heat. So easy and delish! Will definitely make again!

In reply to Alissandra Maffucci. It was that you add the garlic first, then the onion, instead of the opposite. I though garlic burns easy, so its added after the onion is softened. Will try it your way :) Im sure its all relative anyway. Thank you!

In reply to Natalia.

Natalia – I’m not sure what you’d like me to elaborate on? I usually add garlic and onions, if the recipe calls for it (sometimes it doesn’t!) That’s just to add flavor to the dish and noodles!

Love your site, been snooping hard for 2 days! Have had a spiralizer in the box for 3 months, but am going to finally give it a whirl. I blame breastfeeding brain (3 month old baby boy). Zucchinis bought, no excuses now.

However, I notice in your recipies, you start with sauteeing the garlic, then add the onions. This is opposite to what I’ve been doing, and seen in other recipies. Elaborate?

Yum! You’ve inspired me to finally buy a spiralizer so I can start making some of these delish recipes! This sauce looks easy and tasty which is right up my alley 🙂

The timing on this recipe was perfect! I was by myself for dinner since the rest of the fam had other activities, and one lone zucchini in the fridge. I was going to make your chicken, feta and spinach zucchini noodles (which is fabulous, btw) and then I saw this! It was so easy and delicious!
