I was blessed with trying the amazing pad thai at Rawlicous many years ago, and was instantly hooked on zucchini noodles. I have been bugging my chef partner to make them for me (as I was afraid to ruin them forever by making an awful dish). He purchased a $7 peeler from Kitchen Stuff Plus,(this one is similar, but I can't find mine http://www.kitchenstuffplus.com/20040-Microplane-Twist-Spiral-Vegetable-Slicer-Black.aspx).
     My fantabulous man created AMAZING dishes- a Bolognese Sauce on zucchini noodles, a combination of zucchini with heirloom carrot noodles with enoki mushrooms and rainbow trout, and another meal of 2 hour roasted balsamic chicken with an almost ratatouille like sauce. Can you tell he loves this stuff? From a zucchini hater to lover with a mere $7, he has sworn off any other type of noodle and was amazed with how tasty healthy can be.
         1 zucchini has only 35 calories, so feel free to load up on these portions. Throw in frozen veggies while making a sauce, try enoki mushrroms to add in some texture, use peanut sauce to bring some thai flavour or try different nut pestos. Tonight I threw a plain can of tuna into my pile of noodles for an easy dinner that is low carb and high protein.
        Despite having Italian in my blood, my tolerance for pasta is very, very low. I always feel wretched after eating it and am pretty adverse to any pasta dish. It will active my IBS symptoms which very few foods do. My partner has celiac disease, so zucchini noodles are a godsend to us.
