This recipe has changed my life. I don’t think I will ever go back to regular pasta. This had such a great flavor and I really like the tomato sauce recipe with it. I just love that I can have this great taste and still feel light and energetic after I eat it. My husband is not a pasta eater and he actually really enjoyed this dish!

my noodles are getting a lot of extra “juice” when I cook it so I am going to strain it, but any tips on how to cook the noodles???

Wow! Cook the noodles in multiple batches so they don’t get soggy in the pan!

I recived a 17″ summer squash yesterday and I had no idea what to do with it, then I came across this recipe and decided to try it. I am making it right now for my mom and brother… I hope it turns out good!!!

Good point, but there are a lot of low carb/slow carb folks actually looking for substitutes. However you say it, it’s still tasty

I think this was a very good recipe, but why make the association to pasta? It’s sauteed zucchini ribbons with tomato sauce – a wonderful vegetable side dish on its own. If I’d told my family “this is a pasta substitute,” they would have turned their noses up at it, but as a veg alternative to steamed broccoli (boring!), they were delighted.

Hi Darya –
I am new to this site, but am very impressed. I have Celiac disease and my attempts at making homemade gluten-free pasta were disastrous. This was easy, light, delicious and healthy. I can’t wait to try this with other sauces. Yay!

For me, brown rice has helped with weight loss. I have a lot fewer cravings….

Thank you so much for this! I have been grossed out by pasta recently. Also – is brown rice just as bad as pasta? I really like eating brown rice but I’m unaware of whether or not it is bad for weight loss.
