When I make the zucchini noodles I allow them to sit on paper towels for about 20 minutes to get some of the water out of them, then I drop them into boiling water (or chicken broth) for about 2 minutes, or until
slightly soft, then I put marinara sauce on them….if your eyes were closed you would think you are eating pasta. I am on a journey with Weight Watchers and counting points, and there are NO points in the zucchini, so its a “free ride” for me…..I love them cooked, can’t eat them raw.

Well I broke down and bought the spiralizer and want to get the bigger one to do onions and other things lol. My kid said she wanted to eat low/no carbs and I think I got carried away but my taste buds say NOT

Hello! I was wondering if I could switch out the zucchini with spinach?

I made this today for my daughter and I. I used mazithra and parmesan and garnished with a little basil and parsley. It was phenomenal! Thank you so much for the ideas!

Every time I have ever tried heating the zucchini noodles , they just leave a huge watery mess in the bottom of the bowl I am serving/eating them in. How do I avoid that? I usually end up not cooking them at all, and pouring a hot sauce on top, however, this makes the dish barely warm, because the cold noodles cool everything down…

[…] Cacio e Pepe is a traditional “cheese and pepper” pasta in Italy. Top these zucchini noodles with bacon for a dish so good, you won’t even miss the pasta. Recipe here. […]

I wanted to try this dish so much that I’ve just made it even without having a spiralizer (yet). I just used my vegetable peeler and even my boyfriend who is a complete carnivore, loved it! Success!

I just made this as for my boyfriend as my first spiralizer dish and it was sooooooooo good! Highly recommend! Not as healthy but I increased the bacon to 5 pieces ;)… He loved it!

This looks absolutely delicious. I love my spiraliser and pleased to have discovered your recipes.
I lived in Italy for a few years and this is pretty far away from Roman cacio e pepe, but to be honest, sounds 100% more appealing to me than the real thing (which though delicious, usually leaves me comatose and with a stomach ache a few hours later!). I shall be giving this a go. And you’re right, adding bacon to anything can only be an improvement! 🙂

In reply to aleesha. Juice them! They go great with other veggies in juice and are so full of nutrients, more so than the florets! :-)
