So I went to a friend's Pampered Chef party to be a good sport. I'm not into kitchen gadgets at all. My favorite tools are my hands and my chef's knife. I bought a muffin pan and a meat tenderizer and felt I did my duty. Low and behold! With your purchase that month, you got a free gift! Yay, I thought. I really didn't want anything because I don't like a cluttered drawer, but acquiesced and selected the julienne peeler. <br /> <br />A few weeks later, my order arrives. I looked at the julienne peeler and wondered what to do with it. Hmmmmm...In an effort to be more healthy and promote Meatless Mondays in my house, I decided to make vegetable pasta. This is not necessarily unique (since it's been done before), but I wanted the vegetables to be the stars, not the sauce that usually smothers pasta. <br /> <br />OXO makes a juliene peeler, but clearly a mandoline works for this as well. Use whatever veggies you'd like, and have fun with flavor combinations. Here is what I did:
