Anyone use a Spiralizer? What kinds of things have you made that you liked?

Is this the As Seen on TV Vegettti.? about $14.99? We constantly use it for zucchini. We substitute this for spaghetti. Basically whatever we add on to the spaghetti, we add it to the squash. (linguini w/clam sauce, sauce, add grilled chicken marinated in vodka sauce, broccoli rabi & sausage, etc.).

I have a device that turns zucchini into strands like spaghetti. A few days ago, I made queso by melting a brick of cream cheese, about 1/2 cup of sour cream, and about 1 cup salsa. When it was melted and hot, I stirred shredded cheese (maybe about 2 cups?) into it to melt. When it was melted, I stirred the zucchini and some leftover chicken into it to heat it all up. It was delicious and my children devoured it. Honestly though, I think it may have been just as good and maybe even better if I'd used diced zucchini.

This would have been exceptionally good with some diced bell peppers and cilantro, but it was a quick dinner that I made by throwing leftovers and whatever I had on hand together.

I make "spaghetti" with meatballs or chicken Alfredo or shrimp with garlic and butter served on zucchini noodles. I always sauté zucchini noodles in butter. DH boiled them like pasta once and they were mushy and gross. Any favorite pasta recipe just sub in the zucchini noodles. I've made this recipe a bunch of times and everyone in my family loves it http://peaceloveandlowcarb.com/2013/12/mediterranean-pasta-low-carb-gluten-free-primal.html

We boiled it also a few times as suggested but not necessary!!!
