Zucchini Noodles with Blistered Tomatoes

Sharing is caring!

I am not a gadget kind of gal.  Then my new friend Diana who is a vegetarian and who is not fond of zucchini told me about the spiralizer.  It changed her outlook on the summer squash, and now she enjoys zucchini.  Damn her!  As I am always looking for a new way to get Lenny to love my beloved zucchini, I rushed home and bought it.  Here is a recipe of my latest obsession Zucchini Noodles with Blistered Tomatoes.

Simply put, I am in love with it, and if I could spiralize my life I probably would. Yep, I spiralized zucchini, both green and yellow varieties. I also spiralize our potatoes, and I cannot wait to try it out on some winter beets. Oh, and maybe some carrots. Or even apples! I have to say; it is damn fun to work with too. Put Mr. Zucchini onto the machine, start cranking, and before you know it, you will have ribbons of glorious zucchini. It takes no time to have a healthy meal on the table; start to eating took 30 minutes. I LOVE meals like that!

It only seems fitting to be enjoying all of these amazing tomatoes this summer.  Am I the only one who feels that they are truly outstanding?  I have been making this blistered tomato sauce to serve not only with the said spiralized zucchini but I also serve them alongside grilled meat and fish.  Just to eat, and too good.  I cannot stop myself and will be sad when the end of the season hits.  In the meantime, take advantage and at least make the blistered tomatoes and if you don’t have a spiralizer then serve over slices of zucchini, which would also be amazing!  Oh, and the secret seasoning in this recipe is my favorite spice in the kitchen Boonville Piment d’Ville, I wrote all about it here (and share a discount so you can try for yourself).

  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, washed, stems removed and larger ones cut in half

    Add the garlic and cook until lightly golden.

    Add the tomatoes, stir and cook over medium-low heat until blistered.

I've only started hearing about spiralizers in the last year and they're all rave reviews. I love everything that you have or plan to sprialize, so I think I'll need to add this to my kitchen wishlist! And I'll be sad when tomatoes are no longer available in stores. Definitely a summer treat!
