Zucchini makes a good twirl-able noodle.  However, it’s all about the gadget you use, not the process or recipe.  I’ve used a vegetable peeler in the past, but the product wasn’t a convincing noodle.


Now I use the above Titan Julienne peeler that I got at BBY the other day.  LOVE IT!!!  I have owned a mandolin slicer in the past, but it’s much more awkward and dangerous and less effective than this little gadget.  I’m not a big go-buy-this-now kind of blogger, but if you can’t have grain and need a marinara sauce vehicle, zucchini noodles will do the job.  Just peel down to the seeds and blanch or saute for a minute.   GOSH, I’ve been missing spaghetti!
