Next you will need:

*we used the squash and kelp to be our “pasta” noodles, so please feel free to use any pasta or pasta substitute you like ;) This sauce would also go great over veggies!

Wait, what is that floating so oddly in the water??

aug tc 2010 1413 Our lover Kelp Noodles

aug tc 2010 1417 Yes kelp noodles our a seaweed, and they look a little odd, have a unique texture to some, but I find if you soak the noodles for a little while it helps with the texture!

aug tc 2010 1438

Mixing in some squash noodles helps with texture too ;)

aug tc 2010 1439

Now, I present you our dinner.

aug tc 2010 1443

Just take your ‘noodles’ and pour cheezy sauce over them and mix around till well coated!

We added in some lettuce for color…something green of course ;)

Ashley – it took us some before we got a spiralizer, but we just love it. One of our favorite tools to use during the summer. Hope you have a great weekend too!

What a yummy recipe! I love kelp noodles but have only been able to find them occasionally at a store downtown :( And every time I make raw zucchini noodles I get digestive distress similar to food poisoning! I have NO clue why.. any ideas??

April – oh gosh, no I have no idea why zucchini noodles give you digestive distress that is not good. I am so sorry, but if I come across anything I will let you know.

I am cah-razy for kelp noodles (I call it Mermaid Pasta), and I love anything spiralized (especially if it came out of my garden). :D

I trust you’re still standing and have weathered the storm. Looks like Earl lost some steam before he visited the Carolinas, thank goodness.

Enjoy the long holiday weekend!

Ooh, I’m so glad to have found this– I just ordered a BIG box of kelp noodles after trying them at a raw restaurant in Seattle…but now I realize I have no idea what to do with them, ha! :-)
