Great Snack for Former Pasta Lovers
I bought a spiralizer based on posts by others on this site and created zucchini "zoodles". Pan fried them briefly with a small amount of butter and put pasta sauce on them. Really good! Amazing because I tried doing this years ago with spaghetti squash and didn't like it at all.

Yesterday I walked into a local grocery store, and they had a big display right as you walked in of pre-spiraled, pre-packaged "zoodles." Has anyone else seen this? Makes it easy!

I've gotten the pre-packaged ones and then bought my own machine and had more fun doing my own. My problem is I don't seem to know how long to cook them to get the right texture. Suggestions? Skin on or off?
