Parmesan Squash Noodles

Spaghetti pretty much rocks my dinner table – we all love it. It would be sad, sad world without it.

We’ve just started using alternative noodles occasionally. We really love spaghetti squash, and on Thursday I’ll show you how I fix them. It’s fun and crazy stuff around this joint. Added to our “love list” now are these delicious squash noodles. Do they taste like spaghetti? No – it’s a squash, not a miracle. Are they good with pasta sauce? YES. I think I even like them better – they don’t stick and clump together.

Parmesan Squash Noodles

In Cooking Through Stacy’s Stash this week, we’re on my 3rd Southern Living cookbook – with about 8 more to go I think. 🙂 1983 was a good year – I was two and kickin’ it with my parents as an only child…which didn’t last long. Ha, ha!

Southern Living recipes are just so delicious – I always have a hard time choosing one recipe from the book. This was actually the second one I tried. The first one I tried was a complete dud for Almond Berry Cobbler. It turned into Almond Lumps in Swimming Butter Berry Syrup. Oops?

Parmesan Squash Noodles

I chose this recipe because we were having Mexican Spaghetti and I needed noodles – and I had yellow squash in the fridge. I came across a recipe for Parmesan Noodles and it was like a light-bulb went off!

I changed a few things: using butter, adding onion powder, and scaling back the recipe so you can make individual servings – because maybe it’s just you eating these delicacies…too bad for your picky fam. 😉

These noodles are a piece of cake when you use this handy-dandy Julienne cutter from Amazon. I only paid $8 and it was worth it! Now I can make noodles from tons of different stuff! It works easily and I really love it. This is another one of those times when I’m thankful for Swagbucks so I can splurge on stuff like this here and there. (PS – The FTC wants me to tell you that’s my affiliate link, so take that, Big Brother.)

Parmesan Squash Noodles

These are delicious and will be a staple around here when squash is in season. They fry up in about 5 minutes, so they are even quicker than noodles. Hands down a winner in my book. BOOYA!

And yes, you can use zucchini as well. Those are the only two I have tried so far. 🙂

Parmesan Squash Noodles – Squoodles or Zoodles

  • 1 medium yellow squash or zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Dash garlic powder
  • Dash onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

 

  1. Slice squash into juliennes or use your julienne peeler.
  2. Sauté in skillet with butter just until tender with garlic and onion powder.
  3. Stir in Parmesan.
  4. Serve.

Yield: 1 serving

    Okay, first things first- I’ve made this recipe twice and I have to say it was delicious. The first time I hauled out my 20 pound cuisinart food processor (in good weather we use it as a boat anchor:-) and used the julienne attachment which worked great. Then because you enticed me to do it I ordered that very same julienne slicer you have from my favorite mall, Amazon. Wellll…what a fun gadget. However, I ran into a problem when using it that I hope you can enlighten me about. How on earth did you manage to slice that whole squash without drawing blood or maiming yourself? I have two zucchini end pieces in my refrigerator (mocking me I’m sure) because I simply could not keep a hold of them past a certain point without scraping my knuckles or worse. So Miss Stacy how did YOU do it? Thanks for your answer.

      🙂 I start in the middle of the zuc and work down. Then I flip it and do the other half. I don’t julienne the whole thing – we don’t like the seeds in the middle. Always gives me something to hold.

    I’m going to have to try these noodles! Sounds so yummy to me and I certainly do miss pasta. First, I’m going to have to get one of those fun julienne cutters – good excuse for a fun new kitchen gaget!

    These noodles sound great to me. I love summer squash. My husband isn’t much a fan of the zucchini family at all, so I could get by making these & devouring them all by myself. Yum!

        Well, that just happens to be something I love doing. I used to teach art and photography to high school kids, and really enjoyed it. Now, it’s something that I’d like to get going on my blog – submit a photo for critique and tips to make it better. It’s on my list of a million things to do :).

            2. “VERY lacking” is VERY exaggerated 🙂 .

            Uh, no. If it’s not pretty outside, my pictures STINK. I hate yellow photos and I hate using the flash. I’m a mess.

    That slicer is awesome! I’ll need to see if any stores around us have one. I’ve been looking for a spiral slicer that does the same thing but they’re about 3x’s as much. We rock spaghetti squash at our house too 🙂

    I was so excited when I saw your post about the parmesan squash noodles. I just purchased a spiralini a few weeks ago and I am loving all the pretty creations I have made with it. I had a zucchini and a squash sitting in the fridge that I was trying to decide how to cook. So your recipe was perfect timing. I whipped it up for lunch today and it was fantastic. I used butter also, and to your recipe I added a 1/4 small onion because I just love onion with my squash. I also added some red pepper flakes for some kick. Thanks so much for sharing.

    I have used zucchini before to replace noodles. Since I eat gluten free I have tried just about every type of non-wheat idea for noodles 🙂 Your recipe looks great!
