Induction Pasta (Spagh. Squash?)

[samswoman]

I'm looking for an induction friendly "pasta" using spaghetti squash or anything else!

Thanks!

You'll need the right equipment to make noodles out of veggies. So if you can get hold of a julienne slicer (it looks like a Y shaped vegetable peeler but has teeth to make the slices) or a mandoline, it will make it easier for you to do. Otherwise, make sure you use a sharp knife to make the slices.

Zucchini and yellow (summer) squash: peel (or not) it, don't use the part with the seeds.

Cucumber: same as zucchini, blanch the noodles in boiling water or sprinkle liberally with salt, put into a colander and allow it to drain the excess water. Rinse the excess salt before using.

Daikon radish: it's a big white radish you will probably find in Asian markets or in the Asian veggies section of a large supermarket. Peel it and prepare it as you would cucumber.

Onion: slice the onion into rings, then make a cut on one side so the rings fall apart. Blanch the onions in water, just enough to soften them and remove some of the harshness of the onion. Chef Michel Richard has developed a recipe for onion "low carbonara". Here's a link to that recipe: Onion Low Carb-o-Nara - delish.com

Leeks: wash them, cut off the dark green fibrous ends, then slice them length-wise.

Eggplant: use the cucumber technique.

There's more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

OMG you just said my favorite words... spaghetti squash. I am addicted. It is induction friendly as well but you can only have one cup of it but trust me thats all you need it is very filling. I usually saute shrimp with a little lemon juice, red pepper (if you like it spicy) and garlic. Then use an alfredo sauce ... It is easy and delicious. To cook the spaghetti squash it is usually on the squash but in case you need to know you cut the squash in half width wise not length turn each end upside down and bake at 450 for 30 minutes. EASY EASY try it ... it definitely makes up for pasta by far.
