Mason Partak, winner of season one of Chopped Junior on the Food Network, instructed the students at Cottage Hill School how to use a spiralizer and students were nibbling on the curly yellow squash that squished out of the hand held machine and were surprised that they liked fresh squash after all. Tasting Week even extended into Nevada Union High School this year where Bay Area chef, Adam Kesselman, taught five culinary classes knife skills including the easiest way to dice an onion and julienne a red bell pepper.
Once the students had a chance to practice these skills, they got busy making veggie fajitas. The delicious spicy aroma wafted out of the classroom enough to spontaneously invite Principal Dan Frisella, star volunteer Marty Lombardi, and Activities Director Pete Totoonchie, in to grab a bite to eat.

Keep it well weeded and mulched to conserve water. These carrots can grow 10 inches long and 2 inches in diameter at the shoulders if you give them what they need to grow big. Plant them a week before your expected last frost date, and harvest them in September. They can withstand a mild frost.
Protect them from carrot rust fly with a row cover. In cold weather areas, you can get a head start on your growing season by covering them with a cloth row cover after planting, and again in the fall after your first frost.
Long zucchini and yellow squash cultivars are ideal for vegetable noodles. When young, the tender skin can be utilized as well as the inner flesh. You can julienne right through the seed core on immature zucchini and summer squash. You can also allow a few squashes to grow to torpedo size and harden off for winter. I do this every year to gain some squash to feed the chickens in January and February. Hardened off summer squash will stay good in cold storage until March. My favorite cultivar is Romanesco Zucchini, an Italian heirloom that tastes like hazelnuts when raw.
It is a prolific, bush-type zucchini that will grow upward and produces zucchini from first flowering until frost. Grow at least three plants so that there are always enough male flowers to fertilize the opening female flowers. For me, the bushy plants produced several more female flowers to every male flower that opened. The Romanesco zucchini has ribbed sides rather than the round, smooth sides of other zucchinis. The ribbed sides make it less roly-poly on the counter when you are trying to julienne it.
It may be my imagination, but this variety seems less watery to me, too. For more on how to make zucchini noodles see this post. You want to grow long, cylindrical beets if you plan to make beet noodles.
Round beets are too short and the spherical shape is awkward to slide the peeler over. The best varieties to make vegetable noodles from are Taunus and Cylindra. Beets are high in betanin, a colourful, water-soluble compound that inhibits the growth of cancer cells through anti-angiogenesis, cutting off their blood supply.
Deep crimson julienne beets contrast beautifully with yellow carrots, and pale green-flecked, zucchini noodles in a dish.
Lightly stir fry to retain the bold colour and healthful anti-angiogenesis compounds. Butternut squash is easy to peel. And the fruit is just the right size for main dish noodles. The flesh is dark orange, sweet, firm, and stringless. I like to cut the cylindrical top from the swelled seed cavity, using the top part for vegetable noodles and the bottom of the fruit for soup or stir-fry.
One average butternut squash will serve 4 people for two meals. If you add butternut squash noodles to soup, add them in the last 10 minutes of cooking time. Instant noodles by themselves are an incomplete meal because they lack sufficient quantities of proteins, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. As it is with any food, moderation is key. The maximum number of instant noodle servings that can be safely consumed by a person would depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to health status and nutritional needs.
