If you’ve never tried Zoodles, a.k.a. zucchini noodles, OMG! You.are.missing.out!

But, hey hey hey, sweet friends! TGIF! Weekend plans include catching up with my DVR (I’m seriously itching for a Real Housewives marathon), then coffeeing with my lovely friends, and I’m also thinking about possibly sleeping in 2 days in a row. I’m dreamin’ big!

In other news, I’m spiralizing zucchini and making you believe that you’re eating noodles! Scouts honor, the texture is so spot on that you’ll definitely trick yourself into believing that you’re slurping up pasghetti. You’ll see.

Today’s vibrant and delicious recipe is sponsored by my kitchen-gadget-faves, OXO! Their new Hand-Held Spiralizer is my new favorite kitchen toy because I get to make pasta that’s not really pasta, but it tastes like pasta?! (say what?!?) Okay. It’s also great for making zoodles, obvi, curly fries, salads, desserts, etc… Best of all, it’s perfect for all my low-carbin’ friends, diabetics, and for those staying far away from gluten. The spiralizer has us all taken care of.

There’s so much of good stuff going on in here, guys. And it’s soooo easy to make! And and! It all takes about 20 minutes. Winning!
Sidenote: I have to brag because this was my first time that I worked with onions and didn’t cry. The spiralizer held it all in and just let me be free. From the bottom of my tear ducts, thank you.

Secondly, how pretty are these zoodles? RIGHT? All I wanted to do was just toss them into pasta sauce and go at it. BUT I held back because I was really looking forward to this stir fry.

Can I just tell you about how absurdly delicious this was? At first, I didn’t have very big expectations for this meal, but man was I wrong! Friends, this was freakin’ awesome! AND it’s not delivery. It’s homemade. High-Five!

I also wanna come out clean and tell you that my love affair with this spiralizer is super strong. I’ve already zoodled up some sweet potatoes for ya, fresh beets, and something else, but I can’t remember what it was. My brain is still on vacation…

Have a happy weekend!

ENJOY!

  5. My 17 year son and I give this recipe 2 thumbs up! It was super tasty! I threw in some chicken and fresh mushrooms so I ended up with a one pan meal. We will definitely add it to our make again list!

  6. First time ever making zoodles and made this recipe ; SO SO GOOD !! I never leave reviews but I just had to for this one, it was also my boyfriends first time trying it and loved it! I only made half the recipe bc I wasn’t sure if I would like it and he stole my bowl and insisted I make double next time LOL

  9. How do you keep them dry. When ever I cook them they release so much moisture and get mushy. I would l9ve them to have a more pasta texture

  16. How do you get the zoodles so think and delicious looking and not stringy like mine have come out in the past 🙁

  17. Thank you for the recipe, it’s nice and easy and SO delish! I’ve made this dish for myself several times, I tweak it here and there adding garlic, chicken, mushrooms.. or whatever I have on hand.. I enjoy it so much that I wanted to introduce it to my man .. so to lessen the fear of rejection, this time I added some spaghetti noodles to the recipe.. he ate the whole thing and loved it ! I’m going to make it again and again with less noodles every time.

  18. Thanks Katerina! I made these Zoodles tonight with my new Pampered Chef Spiralizer (which I love) Hubby is on Weight Watchers and this is our new favorite recipe!

  19. Looks absolutely delicious!! What is the carb count per serving? I know it says low carb, but I’m interested to know what the actually count is. Thanks!

  20. Love,love,love this dish!!! First time eating zoodles and OMG, amazing. I sautéed red peppers and baby Bella mushrooms and used EVOO instead of vegetable oil. Also, my local grocerer had precut zoodles ready to go. However, I will purchase a spiralizer very soon as I will be making this dish more often. As an avid pasta lover, zoodles are my new favorite pasta substitute. Thanks for sharing.

  22. O.M.G. first of all i did a few things differently! But first let me just say this is the first time i’ve ever tried zoodles and omg you are so right! THEY ARE AMAZING i can’t even tell they are zucchini! So the things i did differently was: i used butter instead of oil i just like the taste better, i diced my onions (i don’t know why guess i’m just a silly goose) i cooked up some diced chicken thigh meat with some butter and a little bit of teryiaki sauce and some seasonings (i used seasoning salt, paprika, onion power and garlic powder) then when my chicken was done that’s when i added the onion and followed the rest of your directions. ALSO I cut down the recipe so it’s suitable for one person which means I had one helping (a pretty good size) and i saved the rest for my lunch for work tomorrow. THANK YOU SO MUCH for such a fabulous recipe. do you have any recipes for chicken lo mein?

  23. So excited to make this!! I would like to add chicken to it….do you have any suggestions or specific instructions on how to do that?? Thanks!!!

    Reply

    • Hi Rebekah! I would say to cut up the chicken into cubes and cook it in the wok before cooking the zucchini. Also, you want to remove the chicken from the wok, wipe it down, and then continue on. I hope this helps!

  25. Curious as to how you got this to be 116 calories per serving? You state this serves one person, but when I put it in my calorie tracker, it came up as 526 calories, not 116. I got it down to 340 by swapping out the veg oil to EVOO, and using only 1 tablespoon instead of 2. (But EVOO’s not good for a wok, smoke point’s too low.) The only way I got it to amount to 116 calories is by leaving out the oil altogether.

    Just curious if I’m missing something.

    • Hi Shelly! That is supposed to say 4 Servings. I am using a new recipe card on my website, one that is supposed to do the nutritional calculations on its own, but looks like there’s a glitch in the servings suggestion. I’ve been working on getting it fixed, but it’s taking a bit longer. So sorry about the confusion!!

  28. Eating this as you read…wonderful!! First time using wok…. First time with zoodles. I think it was a success… I would serve this to guests 🙂

  31. OK OK = Bed Bath has them on sale – do I really need this to add to all my other gadgets? Not hand held like yours or there a difference? th hand held one doesn’t look like it can hold much. Anyway I printed the recipe and I’ll convince my daughter-in-law to try it first..LOL

  44. I think this might be the best zoodles recipe I’ve ever seen! It seriously looks like something from a restaurant – so yum! And the timing is perfect because I literally just bought my first spiralizer last week. 🙂
