Don't forget the parm- plant-based or otherwise. Our very own YouTube channel is coming in hot (literally) with a delicious pesto you can scoop on top of your spiralized noodles for speedy weeknight dinners. To make your noodles, just run a zucchini back and forth on one of these babies and have zoodles in mere minutes. Meaning, you can invest in one for the zoodles, but keep the device for chopping onions, tomatoes, and more. They make all elements of meal preparation way easier. Mandoline slicers like this one ($45) are invaluable tools for taking the blood, sweat, and tears out of cutting veggies (that is, if you don't accidentally chop your finger off). Different peelers-like the fancy julienne peeler-will create different shapes.
ZOODLES MAGAZINE SKIN
Just peel use the same motion you use to strip the zucchini of its skin again and again and again until you wind up with long strands of fasta (that's fake pasta). In that case, a vegetable peeler will make strands of zucchini that very much resemble thick Italian fettuccini.

Okay, so let's say you want to dip your toe in the zoodling water before investing in any sort of tool that could just end up in your junk drawer. Similar to the KitchenAid attachment, this baby will instruct you to skewer your vegetable (again, so violent) and hand crank it through your chosen blade for noodles that come out pretty much uniform. I've personally owned one of these babies, and I will say that even though they're pretty hard to clean, I did love it. If you have an excess of kitchen space and love eating zoodles, buying an appliance specifically for making them might be a good idea for you. Then, simply skewer the vegetable your choice on the included metal spoke (this part's a bit violent but necessary) and turn on the machine for noddles that come out perfectly. Once you've placed the attachment on your KitchenAid, choose whether you want your noodles to be medium, fine, or extra fine. Kitchen Aid's spiralizing attachment will cost you a pretty penny, but will save you a whole lot of time and frustration. If you cannot be bothered with cranking your zoodles by hand (it me) and you own a KitchenAid, you are in luck, my friend.
