<p>For anyone who makes zucchini "spaghetti" using a julienne peeler, what do you do with the middles afterwards? They don't make good strands but I don't want to throw them out. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>I just throw them away.</p>

<p>Eat them! Willful waste makes woeful want. I'm sure there some good nutritional stuff in those zucchini innards. </p>

<p>Paleo-ized zucchini bread/cakes/cookies? I too just toss them out normally. </p>

<p>I chop them up and add them to the sauce if I'm making a traditional tomato-based sauce. </p>

<p>Cut them into slices and sautée them, and add them to the finished dish. For an added bonus: sautée them in a good fat like pastured butter.</p>

<p>Wow. I've never even thought about it -- have always just included them in the process. Maybe it's the peeler -- ? Any time I've made zucchini noodles, I've either used a mandolin, or just a chef's knife. Maybe the julienne peeler is making "noodles" that are too fine -- ? I know, when I make them, they're much more akin to fettuccine than to angel hair.</p>

<p>I cut them up and saute them in butter the next morning as a hash to go with my eggs.</p>

<p>grate or chop and throw it into meatballs, meatloaf, taco meat, crustless quiche, scrambled eggs, etc. You really can't see zucchini when you shred it into something, so I often put it into things my kids are eating.</p>

<p>You said "middles" -- I'm guessing you're talking about the squishier part with the seeds? You could mash 'em up with some cinnamon, butter, and salt, heat until warm and just eat it with a spoon. Yum.</p>

<p>I shove my zucchini through a box slicer (like a grid, with knives) and it makes perfectly fine "noodles" out of the middle.</p>
