ZUCCHINI NOODLES.

Do you have a veggie noodle maker? What, why not! Well you just have to get yourself one, like now!

They retail from $20 and up and are truly worth the investment, this one is from Target.

Pasta is an energy dense food lots of carbs with very little nutrient, by using vegetables instead of pasta you increase your intake of nutrient rich foods. And decrease your energy intake easily.

I use zucchini’s as a pasta substitute but any vegetable just about can be used. I love the versatility of these noodles, quick to make and can be used in so many dishes that you would normally use pasta. Be aware when using in spaghetti bolognese that you need to add the zucchini noodles last, on top and then mix in and eat. If you leave it too long the zucchini noodles with go mush and it's not so great then.
