Making Zoodles

I have been searching for so long for the gadget to make vegetable noodles aka Spiralizer. There were actually so many to choose from in a vast price range and all sorts of shapes and sizes; that it was all too confusing to decide online. Prices ranged from R100 to R1000, yes one thousand bucks. Uhm, hell NO! Unless it comes with a remote and handsfree kit that aint happening. So I scouted out local shops to see if I could find one that I could view in person but they were no where to be found. Then enroute our holiday recently I popped into a fancy speciality store at the Jbay Fountains Mall and found this one; reasonably priced at R250.
Let me tell you it takes a good few tries to get the hang of it. Requires patience and a bit of arm endurance too. I suggest popping a bottle of wine or steeping a cuppa tea while watching your favourite series to get through a punnet of zucchini.
As you can see from the image there are four stages. 1. whole zucchini (top) 2. zoodles 3. zucchini core 4. stubs
I'm not quite sure what to do with the core leftover pieces, probably create another meal with them, throw them in soup or stews. I froze all the leftovers and will see if it indeed freezes well.
I sauteed these zoodles in garlic butter for a little while and they came out so delicious. Much better than the Woolies prepackaged ones that you microwave in the bag.
I'm excited about finally being able to have a noodle alternative.  Yay for Zoodles!
