If you don’t want to use a spiralizer, you can use a peeler to make flat zucchini noodles. If you prefer zoodles that are similar to spaghetti, you should invest in a spiralizer. They are very easy to use and don’t require a lot of effort, especially when you turn zucchini into noodles. In fact, zucchini is one of the easiest vegetables to spiralize because it is very soft, unlike sweet potatoes or butternut squash. We suggest that you invest in a spiralizer that has suction cups on the feet, so that it doesn’t move while you spiralize. The handheld ones are acceptable, but can be a lot of work.

For the Alfredo sauce, feel free to add other spices that you enjoy. While this sauce is very tasty, you may want to turn up the heat with some cayenne, for example. The nutmeg may seem out of place, but it really rounds out the flavor profile of this sauce. Remember, nutmeg is very powerful, so a small pinch is perfectly sufficient. Going overboard with the nutmeg will alter the flavor and make it taste a bit odd. Finally, toss the zoodles and sauce with some halved cherry tomatoes and optional chopped basil. It’s entirely up to you!
