How to make zucchini noodles without a spiralizer?
- Thinly slice zucchini (a mandolin is great for this, but not imperative) and stack them.
- Stack several layers together and finely slice the long way creating long thin noodle shaped strips.
- If possible, select zucchini that are very straight with an even diameter from end to end. This will make this whole cutting process easier.
Make basil ribbons by stacking 8-10 leaves, rolling them up and slicing into thin strips.
Shave or grate a little pecorino-romano cheese. If you would like to have shaved cheese, use a vegetable peeler, it works great.
Top the flavorful Zucchini Noodles with a piece of seared fish, chicken or tofu – or serve it just like it is!
I hope you enoy this!

This is delicious!! My husband absolutely loves it.
How well does this dish freeze?
That is a great question. I feel like it would get overly mushy?
Great tips to cut the zucchini. Absolutely loved that recipe, even without basil. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed Chloe!

The Zucchini Linguine is our all time fave. A refreshing alternative to pasta, that leaves us fresh and satisfied every time. ❤
Awesome Jess!
Thank you for the delicious recipes for using the abundant surplus of zucchini from the garden. Delicious!!
I’ve been making this for years now. Always so good!!!
Great to hear! It’s an older one- but I like it too!
This recipe and the pictures look awesome! You inspired me to try my own version of this…I hope it is okay I linked to your blog in my blog so people could try your recipe, too. If not, I can easily remove. Thanks for posting. 🙂
Fantastic instructions, beautiful gallery of pics! Really good food blogs leave you with the feeling that you’ve already made it and experienced the flavors. You do this well.
The photos are gorgeous! And I’ve just printed out this recipe because I think even my cooking-challenged boyfriend could cook this up :):):)

YES! Love this! I made zucchini fettuccine a couple weeks ago and loved it! such a great meal! and safe for people with gluten allergies to boot! 🙂
Beautiful photos.
Wow, these photos are fantastic, and this looks delicious. A piece of simply cooked white fish would be delicious alongside.
Thanks and yes, fish goes great with it.
