Spicy Butter Zoodles

This was wonderful! And easy! I added a little olive oil with my butter. I fried some fresh, minced garlic first for about a minute- just til it started to brown, then added the zoodles. I took the advice I read to only fry them for about 2 minutes, then I sprinkled some parmesan and fresh, diced basil- heavenly! Didn't have any pine nuts so left them out, and I skipped the red pepper.

Tasty and very easy. I had to sub walnuts for pine nuts because that's all I had. The crunch of the nuts is essential to the success of this dish. I will definitely make this again.

Some times, less is more and this is one of those recipes. Easy and fast to prepare, and the butter brings out the fresh flavors. I love the zucchini just barely cooked. Adjust the pepper flakes to your tastes. A delicious way to change up the bounty of summertime zucchini.

Yumm-eee! I didn't have pine nuts available or the cheese specified (used some grated parmesan). I added a little crushed garlic (everything is better with that as far as I'm concerned), salt and pepper. Mine was ready in 2-3 min; more than that would have been too mushy for me. Love this! Note to self: Easy with red pepper flakes. Second time making this was a little hot (and I like spicy, too). UPDATE 2/2/17: Had with the parmagiano-regiano cheese suggested, and it put this over the top!

Super easy and quick. My family loves things hot and a 1/4tsp of pepper flakes was MORE then enough. I added cherry tomatoes to skillet just before zucchini zoodles. Very delicious!

I loved it made a few changes. Sauté shrimp and added a small amount of Chardonnay and reduced it down added shrimp and pine nuts. I also put the zucchini in a towel and squeezed as much liquid out as possible.

Quick and easy, Used a lot less red pepper as most of the reviewers did. Salt and black pepper, crushed garlic . Anything can be added.

It's easy to adjust the seasoning to your personal tastes. I used a lot less pepper and omitted the pine nuts. I had grated parmesan on hand so that is what I had used. It was a healthy and delicious side dish.

This was delicious! I added a little sprinkle of cayenne pepper and used Romano since that’s what I had in the fridge. I will definitely be making this again!

great

I made this per the directions, but added chopped red bell pepper and garlic. Everything's better with garlic! There was a bit too much red pepper flakes IMO, so next time I'd cut that in half. I'll make it again.

Use a bit less red pepper flakes and add some salt. Otherwise great dish.

I liked this recipe. I am not a fan of spicy so left out the red pepper this time. Next time I will use a pinch of cayenne. I did use salt, black pepper and garlic. Although I had no pine nuts and forgot the cheese it still tasted great. I will definitely make this again.

no pine nuts in the pantry, minus the cheese, so I fried some spiral onions (crispy) which I had long enough in the refrigerator. Still delicious.

I didn't have pine nuts, but I made without and with a tiny bit of fresh basil. Delicious! Only needs about 2 to 3 minutes cooking.

Cayenne or pepper flakes both is mentioned in description and the other in directions I was wondering if this recipe was not thought out properly (however I used pepper flakes) sorry but I was not impressed I think a start of a great recipe but there are other basic zoodle starters I would use first I would definitely use garlic if you decide you want to try this recipe :) my star shows my opinion

It was good! I made using ingredients on hand - no pine nuts, so I subbed walnuts, and used olive oil vs butter. I would make it again.

Wonderful vegetable/side dish. Very easy! To trim the calories, I used both olive oil spray and butter-flavored spray. The red pepper flakes added a great zip to make it more flavorful! This is already on my “make it again” list.

I did not make any changes and will do i again. It is very good and next time I will add some seasonings.

I made the recipe exactly how it was written. Since I didn't have a spiralizer, I peeled the zucchini. I am not a huge zucchini fan but I mixed this with spaghetti and the combination was delicious and not too spicy.

I made this just as presented, I always have pine nuts so that was a no brainer, I did go easy on the crushed red peppers. I don't know about anyone else but I found that one large zucchini was just enough for the two of us. With a broiled chicken breast this took the place of a salad too. I barely cooked mine so it was slightly on the crisp side.

Excellent added mushrooms and tomatoes and served with butternut squash ravioli.

I also did not have pine nuts, and I didn't have pepper flakes. I made it anyway, and it is very good! It will be better with those ingredients, but enjoyable for now.

Delicious! The only substitution was sunflower seeds for pine nuts. Even my picky kids liked it. A great dish for zucchini that is low carb and high flavor.

My family enjoyed this - made with parmesan and w/o pine nuts. Doubled the sauce, which was just a guess since the recipe called for "1 zucchini".. "1 zucchini" is not helpful, since a zucchine can be anywhere from the size of a smaill pickle to the size of a cucumber.

we really enjoyed this dish with some minor modifications. like others i subbed walnuts for pine nuts bc that's what i had on hand and i used a combo of butter and olive oil. i also added some chopped garlic and sea salt. bf thought this could have been cooked longer but i enjoyed the texture of the zoodles. looking forward to making this again. ty for the recipe.

I used 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper.

Was more of a side dish than a main dish, but my family loved it. The recipe also has an error: it DOES NOT feed 12! The recipe, as written, only will feed maybe 2. Maybe. But, very very yummy.

I made this recipe exactly as written. My first bite seemed a little bland, but then that nice warm and the crunch of the pinenuts in my second bite changed my attitude entirely. Very quick, very easy to make, and is a nice refreshing use of zucchinis and the spiralizer.
