After a month-long break from school, it’s always interesting to see what “practical” items your roommates have salvaged from home and brought back to campus. It may be a vintage jacket they found in their mom’s closet, a set of speakers one of their siblings left behind when they moved out, or that random “As Seen On TV” product their uncle’s new wife bought them for Christmas because she “just knew you could use this at school.” Most of these “As Seen On TV” gag gifts usually get thrown to the back burner, and the Veggetti is no different. However, this new gadget earns its spot on the stovetop.

The Veggetti is a kitchen utensil that slices vegetables into thin or thick noodles so they can be used for an array of dishes. For example, try slicing zucchini and cook with olive oil and spices for a healthy alternative to pasta. But don’t turn your nose up at the veggie and healthy eating aspect. The Veggetti can be used with potatoes to whip up curly fries or hash browns.

Whether you want a healthier diet or just creative meal ideas, these are some Veggetti recipes that are worth trying.
