First off, let me tell you I debated for a while about buying a spiralizer. I read about them, saw recipes about them, but it wasn’t until I recently read some reviews about the Veggetti, that I decided to take the plunge! And I do not regret it. I bought it from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $15. Can’t beat that price. I used it a few weeks ago to add zucchini to my egg muffins. But this is the first time I’ve used it for a full meal. I was a little nervous, I anticpated calling for take-out if it ended badly, but thankfully I didn’t have to resort to that.
Most recipes say you can cook the veggie any way you like, saute, boil, microwave (ew, gross), or eat it raw. I decided to eat it raw because that meant one less step to do! I used two zucchinis, which was enough for two people. And used a food processer to make the avacado-basil sauce. Toppped it off with cherry tomoatoes and you have a heathy, vegetarian meal! My recipe was inspired from this one, from Damn Delicious.

Add avocados, basil, garlic, salt and peper into food processor bowl
