8 Delicious Zucchini Noodle Recipes That Will Make You A Believer!

Have you heard of Zoodles? They're noodles made from Zucchini. And they're actually pretty amazing! You cut the zucchini with a kitchen tool called a Spiral Cutter. The one we use at home is Useful Tri-Blade and it's available on Amazon for under $20. There are many more different cutters out there to pick from as well but Tri-Blade had good reviews so we decided to try and we're happy with it so far.

6. Zoodles Pad Thai

Healthy Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai Recipe on @WhiteOnRice
The best part about this Zucchini Pasta Pad Thai is that you can add what ever protein you want. We like to have our zucchini noodle a little on the crunchy side, so we like to cook the zucchini first, then let the water drain from the noodles before serving. The water that's released from the noodles won't water down any sauce or flavor in the zoodle recipe.

7. Zoodles and Turkey Meatballs
