Easy, healthy, cheap!

Slice zucchini with a potato peeler in long strips. Boil for 2 minuets and set aside (use just like pasta).
Fry up some onion, garlic, canned tomato and diced chicken and season. Add the sauce to zucchini an top with some Parmesan. YUMMO!

Feel free to add your own healthy meals

That is a good recipe. Has anyone found any easier way to slice the zucchini other than with a potato peeler? I have spent 15 minutes just to slice two zucchinis that way and that cooks down to hardly enough food for 4 people (if your eating it as a main course). I do like the taste of zucchini that way but it's so time consuming I hate to do it.

I've used zucchini for lasagna and was very pleased with the results. I really like using the vegetable instead of the starchy noodle. It feels much healthier to have less carbs.

Very interesting and healthy indeed. I love making zucchini fries. I would use a potato cutter to make then into the size of fries, then I would bread them or batter them. Afterwards, I would deep-fry them. I know that pretty much kills most of the micro-nutrients already, but the whole concept of 'Zucchini Fries' is appealing to people.

I haven't tried making zucchini pasta, on the other hand. Thanks for the recommendation!

I will surely try this out and serve it to my family one day for dinner.

Oh nice, very interesting quick and healthy meal there. I agree though that using the potato peeler to cut up the zucchini can get tedious.... even with that in mind, I will still try this out!

If you top and tail the courgette and slice it long ways on a mandoline ,then season with salt and pepper and a little olive oil,soften in the oven
Join them side by side and roll a filling into them so they resemble cannoli ,I fill them with cou cous or risotto ,and top with a chopped tomato sauce

We see a commercial on tv that uses a machine to make the vegetable to look like pasta. I will be trying this recipe for a healthier meal. Thanks.

You could use a gadget like the vegetti:

I just found this image on Amazon, but I know that these are sold at CVS.

You don't actually have to cook the zucchini noodles, but instead of boiling them I would suggest adding them to the pan after you saute the onion, garlic, etc.

Edit:

Trying a different image...

That is a good recipe. Has anyone found any easier way to slice the zucchini other than with a potato peeler? I have spent 15 minutes just to slice two zucchinis that way and that cooks down to hardly enough food for 4 people (if your eating it as a main course). I do like the taste of zucchini that way but it's so time consuming I hate to do it.

Get one of those tabletop food slicers. You can do tomatos, zucchini, and just about any other veggie with them. I do not personally own one, but my mom does and loves hers. You can get one of the fancy ones that does all the shapes too.

Slice zucchini with a potato peeler in long strips. Boil for 2 minuets and set aside (use just like pasta).
Fry up some onion, garlic, canned tomato and diced chicken and season. Add the sauce to zucchini an top with some Parmesan. YUMMO!

Feel free to add your own healthy meals

You could also use those thin vegetable strips to make a simple tart. Though in this case, unlike what I said above, I do recommend blanching them or they will stay firm.

I initially saw this on Pinterest. If you wanted to avoid the flour crust you could use couscous or quinoa instead.

You could use a gadget like the vegetti:

I just found this image on Amazon, but I know that these are sold at CVS.

So do these gadgets work? I saw one and considered getting it, but then couldn't think what else I'd use other than zucchini with it, so wasn't sure if it would be a worthwhile purchase all around. Maybe I'll look at them once more!

@Rosyrain I do have a mandolin slicer, but maybe it is too cheap to make me feel like it is any decent help either, because I always feel like I'm putting my life in jeopardy every time I use it.

@ChanellG that tart looks beautiful!

We always make Zucchini Omelet...Grate the zucchini. Then in a mixing bowl, put the zucchini and mix together flour, egg, mushroom powder and chopped onion leeks. Then make an omelet from this mixture. It is not only easy to make but a healthy dish too. Then serve this recipe with a sauce (apple cider vinegar and say sauce with a dash of chili pepper).

Slice zucchini with a potato peeler in long strips. Boil for 2 minuets and set aside (use just like pasta).
Fry up some onion, garlic, canned tomato and diced chicken and season. Add the sauce to zucchini an top with some Parmesan. YUMMO!

Feel free to add your own healthy meals

Nice recipe. The title captured my attention because healthy and cheap are not usually mentioned in the same breath. I have been checking out some prices of healthier ingredients and the prices are alarming. Truth be told even zucchini can be a little pricey in these parts.

Yes, they do! I bought one last year for kitchen #2. My then significant other used it one day and it became his favorite gadget. He made zucchini noodles on a regular basis and started experimenting more in the kitchen. He is pesco-vegetarian and was thrilled when his picky eater carnivore son liked the "noodles," because he doesn't like pasta (and so many other things).

You can also use the gadget for carrots!

The tart IS beautiful! Ah, the joys of food! LOL

Ahem, get that fabulous itinerant gardener of yours to put in a couple plants for you. In no time you will have more zucchini than you can eat. Also, check for other options besides your neighborhood supermarket. Roadside vendors and farmer's markets tend to be cheaper.
