Your spiralizer has likely gotten a fair amount of use this year, but likely with the same star players. Put another way, it's possible you consumed so many zucchini noodles that it felt like your hair was about to turn green. Now, they’re the "Uptown Funk" of your recipe repertoire: delightful, but overplayed.Luckily, all it takes to fall back in love with healthy vegetable (faux)-pasta is a simple tweak: Use some <a href=/articles/2015/03/edgy-veggies>edgier veggies</a>. Take your cue from Franklin Becker, chef/owner of <a href=https://www.thelittlebeet.com/ target=_blank>The Little Beet Table</a> in New York City, who just released a lineup of ready-to-cook noodles made from produce we never thought to spiralize. From beets to turnips to celery root, it's a venerable noodle revolution. Becker’s <a href=https://www.hungryroot.com>Hungryroot</a> noodles come complete with spices, sauces and protein so you can toss the whole thing in a skillet and have dinner in a flash. But if you’re itching to dust off your own spiralizer, we tapped him for a nutrient-rich version you can make from scratch.Pick your favorite veggie from Becker’s six main players—rutabaga, sweet potato, celery root, carrot, beet or turnip—and follow the easy instructions below.Veggie Noodles with Sweet Basil GremolataServes 42 tbsp olive oil4 of your favorite vegetable(s), spiralized2 cloves garlic, sliced paper thin1 cup tomato sauce (Becker likes Muir Glen)8 basil leaves, jullienned1 oz. pine nuts, toastedSalt and pepper to taste1/4 cup Pecorino cheese, microplaned1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, microplanedHeat a sauté pan on medium high heat and add olive oil.
