When I first saw spiral cut vegetables I was certainly intrigued. Friends were purchasing them and stores were selling spiral vegetables slicers and spiral sliced vegetables- so, what to do? Try them. I am a fan and I think the more interesting ways you can cook and serve vegetables the better. I took our favorite pasta recipe and instead of pasta, substituted summer squash. I think it is delicious and fun to eat. If you haven’t tried spiral cut vegetables, now is the time!
