A hand held spiralizer is very cheap and works for any hard veggie.
This is where I've landed on the subject too, it's not pasta, and doesn't sub for it. You can't really cook it al dente as you would with pasta. You can make perfectly fine meals with these things, but they're still vegetable dishes not pasta. Kind of like I always say if you think a turkey burger is a sub for a beef burger you'll be disappointed. It needs to be treated like turkey. I find that Asian sauces work better with veggie "noodles" than Italian.
