I’ll be the first one to say it.

Many of you have asked what brand I’m using. I am using the Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer, by Paderno World Cuisine and bought it from 
For me, texture is everything. I think this is why I never got into spaghetti squash. Slicing raw zucchini, on the other hand, into spirals or curls worked for me. I loved this dish. I did not miss the pasta one bit and especially since I added meatballs, this was a very satisfying dish. I left the zucchini noodles raw, because when mixed with the hot marinara sauce, they soften up a bit anyway. And, I personally liked the zucchini noodles with a little bite. Alternatively, you sauté the zucchini noodles over medium heat with some extra virgin olive oil just until heated through a bit. The longer you cook the noodles, the softer they become.
Trying to cut back on the pasta intake? Trying to eat more vegetables? I can’t think of a better way to incorporate more veggies into your meals. I am a huge believer that the way your food looks, how it’s presented, how it’s cut or sliced and the texture makes all the difference. I hope you give the Spiral Vegetable Slicer a try and enjoy it as much as I do. My 3 year old said, “Mom, this is the best dinner ever!”
Potato curly fries are next!
Now, before we get the recipe here, I must share my homemade marinara sauce. Since creating this marinara sauce for this 
I made just two changes for this recipe:
1) Use TWO 28-ounce cans of crushed tomato sauce. You don’t need the diced tomatoes for this recipe.
2) Let the sauce simmer for close to an hour, or at least 50 minutes. In the other recipe, you’re cooking the sauce longer in the oven but here, we are not.
3) 
I agree! If ever there was a way to make veg more appetising, a unique way of adding texture of colours always works. I’ve never tried spaghetti squash, (can’t seem to find it here.) Nonetheless I think I need a spiraliser and definitely need curly potato Fries. Alwsys 😉
Yes!!! The Hubs wants curly fries this weekend! 😛 Thank you, Alice!!
My spiralizer (same one!) just showed up ten minutes ago. AHHHH! I even had zuchinni in the fridge, just WAITING. I think I know what I’ll be doing this weekend….
Also, thanks for the link to my “meatballs” 🙂
Awesome!!! I hope you enjoy it!! let me know how you like it!
I LOVE making my own pasta! This is definitely something I’m gonna try. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
Of course, Susan! Thank you!
Ha ha, I had to chuckle over that last line! Kids! I hear that kind of thing all the time. I’m loving your zucchini noodles (I know I’d eat more than one bite, lol!) and the sauce and meatballs take them totally over the top! Love that this is low carb and raw (the noodles that is), not to mention GORGEOUS! Pinning 😉
Wow. I SO need a spiralizer! These “noodles” look perfect with the meatballs! Pinned. 🙂
Love how much you love the spiralizer 🙂 Looks like a really neat tool in the kitchen. Need to get one! Never had zucchini noodles like this but absolutely love the idea. Homemade marinara sauce is the way to go for sure! Pinning this! Thanks for sharing 😉
Isn’t the spiralizer awesome!?! I love mine so much.
Whaaat?! Stop it! You made zucchini noodles? OMG, I’m bookmarking this page. My bf is gonna flip! Both of us agreed to eat healthier and this is right up our ally. Perfect!
haha, love the enthusiasm Connie!! I seriously loved this dish. . you’ve got to try it! 🙂
Lmao of COURSE M ate all the meatballs and left the zucchini. Hey, one bite is a step in the right direction. Girl, I’ve gotta get me one of these fancy spiral thingies! That’s amazing! If it’ll trick me ‘n Tony into eating more veggies, it’ll also be the best $40 I’ve ever spent! Your photos are gorgeous, btw 🙂
I’m soon into these “noodles” and will be trying soon!
I’ve made something similar– but i toss the zucchini noodles with a little olive oil and spread out a non-stick foil liked cookie sheet. I sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and/or grated mozzarella and bake for about 10 minutes at 500 degrees to cook the zucchini crisp tender and melt the cheese. Just top with sauce and serve.
Really yummy.
Hi there, that sounds wonderful!! Thanks for sharing!
