Is there a blade that functions as a spiralizer to make pasta out of zucchini?

None of these 3 would do that as one makes slices, one makes French fries, and the other fine grates, the shredding blade came with my food processor and I run my zucchini long wise through it, no where near as long as spaghetti, but 10 times longer than what cabbage shreds.

It does not come with additional blades. The texture of the veggies would be like applesauce. That is what I made with mine. Love it.

I think if I were to order a spiralizer again it would be a little more sturdy. I went totally for the price and small size. It works ok but tried it on zucchini and ended up throwing out large pieces because you couldn't shove it all the way into it. For storage and size it's good, but if you want something for heavy usage I would go a little more sturdy like Paderno. Hope this helps.

Not with the blades that come with it. There are Additional blades you can buy but i don't think any of them would give you long spirals.

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

Other than pasta, I have only used it for cooking quinoa--which came out fine. I haven't tried for vegetables although assume would work fine as this pasta cooker seems to me a sturdy, but fairly generic microwave cooking tool. The main uniqueness, I think, is the lid which helps keep starchy things from boiling over.

Yes, there is a hole all the way through which makes rinsing it out easier. Also, one end does thick slices and the other does thin slices. Works great with zuchinni but not very well with white or sweet potatoes. Anxious to try summer squash as it is much like zuchinni.

It cuts differently. I make spaghetti zucchini and other unique spaghetti shaped veggies the j cook in coconut oil or olive oil with a few more spices to add flavor topped with lemon juice. Kids like it because it looks like spaghetti

I'm not sure what you mean by a V-slicer and I don't think I've used one so I can't say. The julienne blades don't work well with harder vegetables. It's a shame because that's what we really wanted it for but...oh, well. I know others have said that it does work well so perhaps it is our inexperience with it. It's our first. We will try again and let you know!

Sorry I haven't tried this - sounds like you have an interesting recipe. I think the shred blade would come pretty close.

You'd have to ask a Pampered Chef distributor about the blade. I wouldn't want the cut thinner, I'dlike it thicker, if anything. And no, there is not a zester. Why would you want a zester with apples? A grater is for zesting.

It turns vegetables like zucchini and squash into noodles, like spaghetti noodles. It's fast and easy and a great substitute for pasta. My kids love the veggie noodles.

I have only used it twice to make spaghetti zucchini and was most pleased with the results. It was so much better than the cheaper little hand units. Of course, one can only use the outside of the zucchini as the seed portion doesn't make good textured spaghetti. (Don't know how one can break the mandolin. The cutting blade certainly demands respect as it is sharp and can be damaged by misuse.)

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

Could you please tell me if it does carrot or zucchini "pasta" ? if it could shred these two veggies like a noodle or pasta thickness?Thank you

No, you would not want to cut the zucchini. Average size and smaller zucchini will work. The blades are very sharp. It is easy to twist the zucchini. You will get long spirals of zucchini and get left with a cute knobby end attached to a long small spiral from the center.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.
