If you follow me on Instagram Shameless self promotion :P you have seen me use this technique a lot - and that is because it is THE ONLY WAY TO GO.
I personally am one of those gluten free girls who really dislikes most gluten free alternatives. Most gluten free alternatives have no nutritional value... other than simple carbohydrates.
lame.
So why not use vegetables as noodles? Making noodles using veggies is honestly the easiest way to eat veggies!
Do you ever realize you can eat a huge bowl of pasta covered in sauce and other toppings... but you only eat like 3 slices of carrots?
If you give this a try I have no doubt you will be eating a whole bowl of these veggie noodles in no time!
Everyone has a carrot peeler right? PERFECT!
I like to use zucchini & carrots together just for more color and flavors but feel free to only use one or the other whatever floats your boat.
After washing your veggies (and peel the ickies off of the carrot) just start peeling! Go to town with it!
Carrot: Peel and rotate slowly until you reach the 'core' and then stop.
Zuchinni: Peel until you start to reach the seeds and then rotate (do this for all 4 sides).
I usually save the left overs of the unshredded veggies and chop them up and just add them into the mix :P
Put the shredded veggies onto a skillet that holds them nicely and cover for ~5 minutes or until they get soft.
Customize:
Add olive oil, garlic powder and pepper for a nice basic pasta.
Add bolognese (posting some great recipes for these in the future)
Add Chicken
Add Pesto
Add any other sauces!
Sometimes I just make the basic pasta and then put some tilapia on top :)
Enjoy your healthy pasta!! :)
