I started looking for a recipe on the web and came across this site for European recipes by country. Thought I would post it because someone might be interested in a look-see.

So, I spiralized five little green zucchini, wasn't difficult at all, nor did it take much time.  There would be about 2" waste from each but I trimmed the ends and I'll use them in a frittata or something for my lunch next week.



I heated up a container of my homemade marinara w/beef and then started to saute the zucchini strands.  I salted it a bit and that seems to be wrong because the salt (IMO) pulled tons of water out of the veg.  I added a lid to let it steam to soften it and then ended up draining off as much of the water as I could.

Finally, I added about half the heated marinara to the softened 'spaghetti' and continued to let it cook and get a bit softer.

I finished it off by putting half in each of two bowls, adding the rest of the marinara and a sprinkle of purchased grated parmesan.  He ate his whole bowl, asked if there was any more (I don't know if he was still hungry or if he liked it......).

It looks like a funeral home at showing in my house right now.  Dane has brought in all the pots of plants from the patio....geesh, they didn't look THAT BIG when they were out by the courtyard walls!  He's getting ready to set ladders over the lemon tree and the Angel Trumpet plant.  He thought he could take my spare room summer bed throw out to use to cover the plants but I directed him to some others in the linen closet.
