So I keep seeing zucchini pasta everywhere and after a previous failure at making it by just slicing zucchini very thinly I decided to get the special slicer.
The one I found is pretty easy to use. Gotta be damn careful with the blades though because it comes with different types that slide in and out and they are just strips of metal with no real guard on them, similar to these:

Clearly not made in the US but then this kind of noodle is common in Asian cooking and since it did have English instructions I figured why the hell not?
It worked really well as you can see from the picture above ...
The recipe itself?
Not ... so ... much. I hadn't had much protein that day so I added some of the buffalo mozzarella I had leftover (that's the white chunks you see in the green slime above). Even so it was DISGUSTING! Maybe I got the 'noodles' too soft in boiling them or made too much sauce vs. noodles but it was one big bowl of slimy nastiness. I hate wasting food but I'll admit this was bad enough it went in the trash can after 2 bites!
I re-dub thee creamy bad dreamy zucchini pasta!
