Faux Noodles - Using Yellow Squash - without a spiralizer

Do you need:
  • Something new to do with yellow squash or zucchini? 
  • A different kind of side dish?
  • Faux noodles for a low carb diet?
  • All of the above?

Noodles and pasta are a favorite since my childhood; it's a simple food but just so good.  Here is a faux noodle that I really like and hope you do too. 

Faux Noodles

Yellow Squash
Butter
Salt and Pepper

Wash your squash.  If you wish to scoop out the seeds first, slice in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the center seeds (see photo).  Using a potato peeler, peel your yellow zucchini squash into thin strips.  Boil a pot of water on the stove and immerse your 'faux noodles' into the water.  You only have to boil about a minute or two as they are so thin.  Remove, drain very well, pressing down a bit as it will hold a lot of water.  While hot, add your toppings.  Can use alfredo sauce, spaghetti sauce, etc. but I like mine with butter, salt and pepper to taste.
