The husband went back for more, which is rare. I’m hoping that there are still two portions for tomorrow – will try to reheat in the microwave or the oven – has anyone reheated this? I followed the instructions exactly, and it was awesome. Husband wants me to add green peppers or spicy peppers next time, which I’ll add with the onions. So far, Ali, all your recipes are winners! THANK YOU!!!

I have the 4-blade spiralizer and made this tonight. I had to quarter my (large) butternut squash to get it to spiralize in the 4-blade because it doesn’t do large veggies as well as the tri-blade. So if you have a 4-blade, cut it into smaller pieces and it works great!!!

IT doesn’t need to be cooked beforehand! Watch my YouTube videos for instructional videos!

Too hard. Read somewhere it needs to be cooked before hand, which makes a lot of sense to me. Not sure for how long since it’s a cylindrical piece roughly 4 or 5 inches long. Any suggestions? Thanks

Very nice, and will make it again!

Am making this lovely dish now (veganizing it) and will be conservative with red pepper flakes, but you’ll want to edit the recipe.

You can purchase it in a supermarket – it’s a spanish seasoning!

Sorry to hear that you found it difficult! I will try to do more process shoots moving forward! Thanks for the suggestions.

I made this last night but misunderstood something. I realized I had no idea at each step in the process if I was on track or not. You’ve got a lot of great photos of the finished product, but it would be nice to see the steps along the way.

Also, a few more details in the recipe listing would be great. For example, I added 1/2c of broth, but it in no way covered all of the squash. That’s when I realized I had no idea how this was supposed to play out. In real rice it needs to be covered to soak & plump up. But I had added 1/2 cup of liquid to maybe 3 cups of squash? Was that the right ratio? How is it supposed to look? How much time does it take to absorb the liquid? Details like this really help.

Finally, I would love some nutritional value. I believe that butternut squash is healthier than rice… but some stats would be helpful. Especially since some squashes/veggies seem like they may be high in carbs themselves. A potato for sure, right?

Anyway, a few more details would really be helpful! Thanks!

Sarah – thanks so much! I’ve actually done that: http://www.inspiralized.com/2013/09/20/the-obligatory-food-photography-blog-post/

This looks so good! Your photography is beautiful, by the way. You should write a post on how you photograph your food.

Nigel – unfortunately, zucchini has too high of a water content, it isn’t as effective! I’m glad you like the recipe 🙂

Have you tried to make zucchini more “rice” like?

I would definitely be happy eating a big bowl of this.

Truly. But, please stop with all the bolding/highlighting of words when you write. Please. It’s too much. And distracting.
