No Carb Zucchini Pasta!

Do you have a love, hate relationship with pasta?  Many of us do.   I love to eat it, but hate how it makes me feel, and what it does to my waistline.

What if I told you that you could eat as much of it as you like without feeling sick, bloated and stuffed.  Would you be interested?  Well let me show you how…..

Have you ever heard of a Spiralizer? If not, you really need to get one.  They’re wonderful, easy to use, and it makes raw vegetables taste exactly like pasta, but it’s healthy!  I know what you’re thinking, or wondering what your husband and kids might think.  Trust me, zucchini pasta is incredibly delicious and satisfying.

I’ve prepared this in my culinary classes where my students hesitate to try it, then can’t get enough of it.  Last week I made a batch, my kids were home, both in their twenties, and once they tried it, they wanted more.  In fact, my son was going back to his place, and asked if he could take some with him.  We had finished what I’d made, but I still had another zucchini in the refrigerator, so I quickly prepared a batch for him to take home.  It was as easy as that.  With simple toppings of fresh tomatoes, a salsa, pesto, or whatever you desire, even meatballs (chicken or turkey would be best) and pasta sauce – this is one dish even your guests will enjoy.  Watch this video, and I’ll show you how to make it.

So what do you think?  That’s what I thought.  I highly recommend trying a Spiralizer, but if purchasing one isn’t in the cards for you, then you could use a vegetable peeler or grater, using the medium size holes – it won’t look like spaghetti, but it will still taste great.

Thanks for watching my video.  I hope you enjoyed it.

I’d love to hear your comments, and please share with me: What one dish would you like to learn how to prepare?  

Happy Cooking!
