Oodles of Zoodles

img_8811

Since discovering how to make zucchini noodles my life has legitimately been changed. With a simple vegetable peeler you can make a healthy version of your favorite pasta in less than 10 minutes! Now I’m sure some of you are asking “why on earth would I choose zucchini noodles instead of normal noodles?” But these zoodles soak in the sauce and bring a little crunch that your normal pasta doesn’t. It’s also INSANELY healthier for you than eating normal pasta. And don’t just stop at normal tomato sauce, add in your favorite pesto, bolognese, alfredo, anything your heart desires! Any and every sauce tastes good on these! If you happen to fall in love like I did, consider looking into a spiralizer (middle picture)- more info to come in the next post, which will be my first kitchen gadget review.
