You can easily make your favorite cakes and multiple batches of cookie dough, with the 5-quart stainless steel mixing bowl with comfortable handle.

Skinny Marinara Zoodle Pasta
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium sweet white onion
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced (or pressed)
- 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
- 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, or a pinch of cayenne
- 8-10 small zucchinis, spiralized
- Freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, for grating
- Prepared meatballs – optional, I buy Aidells brand
Instructions
- Heat oil in large pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute for 5 minutes, stirring until the onions are soft. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add in the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, then stir to combine.
- Continue cooking for 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Taste, and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Add in the prepared meatballs (optional).
- In the meantime, using the KitchenAid spiralizer, spiralize the zucchini . Place the zucchini on paper towels and salt, allowing to sit for 30 minutes. In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat the oil and toss the zucchini noodles, cooking for 2-3 minutes, right before ready to serve.
- Place the zoodles on a plate, spooning sauce on top, with several meatballs. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese; garnish with fresh basil leaf and serve!

Those zoodle pasta look great!
I would love to try curly fries!
If I won, I would love to make the zoodles! I love trying new things, and this would be AWESOME to make!
I love this.
I always wanted to make my own pasta. I would utilize that whole attachment all the time for various dishes since I like to cook and bake from scratch. I would start with a pasta and shrimp scampi with fresh carrot and zucchini spirals. I love to create my own dishes. This would open a whole other world for me. Thank you so much for this chance! Good luck to all and me.
baked sweet potato fries
I have been dying for a sprializer and a kitchenaid mixer. I would try everything. Your marinara zoodle recipe sounds wonderful so I would start with that.
I would love to use it to make Spiralized Apple Crumble. I’m such a fan of apple crumble so it would be great to put a new twist on it.
That looks and sounds delicious. I love zoodles! The first thing I would try would definitely be Chicken Zoodle Soup! One of my favorite comfort foods and now a bit healthier!
I haven’t even thought about it since I don’t own one but if I ever do own one in my lifetime this skinny marinara zoodle pasta actually looks and sounds pretty good to be the first thing I try with the spiralizer!
Want to try the zucchini noodles!!!
that’s it, I really want to try the zucchini noodles you have me convinced :)
zucchini noodles sounds very interesting to try.
I would make a Winter Caprese Beet Noodle Pasta.
My dream is to own a kitchen aid mixer. I love all the available attachments..
Besides zucchini noodles, I want to make sweet potato curly fries with a spiralizer!
