Zucchini noodles! Once they’re spiralized, cut the the strands in chunks with scissors, otherwise it will be one very long strand of pasta!
Cooking is one of the keys to eating healthy, nourishing food. For many people, cooking seems like just another chore we “have to” do instead of something we “choose to” do.
What if cooking were FUN? And Easy?
The recipe and process I’m sharing with you today are just that…fun and simple! Not only that, but this meal takes only 5 minutes to make, doesn’t actually require any cooking AND is kid-friendly!
Meet, the spiralizer. This $20 gadget will open a whole new world of food possibilities for you, and it’s even fun to use!
Growing up, I LOVED pasta, especially angel hair pasta. I ate it multiple times a week with butter, garlic powder and heaps of parmesan cheese. It was my go to meal, even in college.
If you’re looking for some creative alternatives to pasta that are packed with nutrients, won’t weight you down and are perfect for warmer weather, you have to try this zucchini pasta!
I had a bunch of zucchini in my Hometown Harvest bag this week, so I was really excited to make this refreshing seasonal recipe again!
