I gently press them down with my hands and then walk away. I lightly salt them (about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon for a large batch of zoodles) and then place another layer of paper towels on top.
To pull out the excess liquid from the zoodles, I like to spread them out in a single layer on top of a layer of paper towels (placed on top of a dish towel). It just adds flavor and thickens the sauce a bit more.Ībout an hour before starting the sauce, I used my Paderno Spiralizer to make a bunch of zoodles with zucchini and yellow summer squash it only takes a couple minutes to make a big pile of them. I also added about 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan about 5 to 10 minutes before it was done simmering, but it's not necessary. I simmered it uncovered about 30 minutes until thickened. I used Del Grosso's Fireworks sauce tonight and added it to browned ground round, diced bell pepper and onion, quartered fresh mushrooms and baby spinach that I browned and cooked before adding the sauce. I usually prefer to eat my pasta in a pasta bowl, but this evening I intentionally ate it on a plate so you could see there was NO wateriness whatsoever. I'm going to share how I keep my zoodles from being watery. But, if your zoodles aren't prepped right, you will still end up with watery pasta when you serve it.
If you use one of the acceptable jarred sauces (as in no sugar, or other additives), you can easily conquer that simply by simmering it uncovered for about 20 to 30 minutes until the excess liquid cooks off and the sauce reduces and thickens. It should be nice and thick and not loose and watery. There are 2 main issues.one of them is the sauce. In the early days of low carb eating, mine were watery too, and I decided that was going to have to change! I wanted pasta, not pasta soup. While most all of you have had zoodles before, you know the one drawback about them is that they tend to be watery when serving them, especially once you put the sauce on top. I'm sure he appreciated a break from turkey, too! Only one of my sons came for dinner this evening since we've all been eating together now for days in a row. So, I decided to make something completely non-turkey.I made pasta (zoodles) instead. I had planned to make another "leftover turkey dish" for dinner tonight but just couldn't bring myself to eating turkey AGAIN tonight. We had such a nice Thanksgiving and have eaten leftovers for the last couple of nights. I've been having some problems with my computer's touchpad not working all day long and then suddenly, out of the blue, this evening it began working again.so weird. Hubby worked outside in the yard and finally got up all the leaves while I worked inside continuing on our "project de-clutter".LOL. Store the ingredients in separate containers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or assemble the bowls and store them in the fridge up to 5 days (without the sauce).Today was a busy day. Here's an alternative spiralizer with great reviews that you can crank with your hand. It's so fun to use and makes veggie noodles so quickly! I also love using it to peel apples and potatoes. If you want to make the zoodles from scratch, I recommend this handy-dandy Spiralizer Attachment for your KitchenAid Mixer. Vegetarian - the turkey can be replaced with chickpeas or tofu to make this vegetarian.Zoodles - instead of zucchini noodles, you can use soba noodles or rice noodles.Hint: Use frozen zoodles (often found in the frozen vegetable section at your grocery store) and pre-cooked turkey slices (I love the Lilydale Oven Roasted Carved Turkey Breast from Costco) to make this bowl super-quick to put together. Assemble the bowl by layering chopped bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, spinach, chopped cooked turkey over the zoodles.
