Spiral those veggies!

Adding Veggies in a fun and delicious way! 

Healthier version of spaghetti where I can have more than one helping... yes please!

If you haven't seen or heard of the new trend of gluten/carb free pasta well here you go... to get these delicious veggie into spaghetti strips you can use a spiralizer (found at bed bath & beyond) and slice most veggies... I mainly use any type of squash for spaghetti but can also spiralize carrots, eggplant, cucumbers and more!

Once you get the veggies sliced there are three ways I suggest making your pasta: (1) raw, this mean you slice and add uncooked sauces such as pureed tomatoes and garlic; (2) boiled, slice and place in boiling water for about 3 minutes or less (depending on thickness of 'pasta') drain and add sauce of choice; lastly (3) sauteed, toss sliced veggie into sauce on stove.

The following pictures are just a few of the probably 20 ways I've made 'spaghetti' ~

Sauteed

Baked 'Spaghetti'

Sauteed 'pasta' in some olive oil and added garlic, mushroom and tomatoes (pictured left). Added 'pasta' to meat sauce in casserole dish and topped with mozzarella cheese and baked (pictured right). Boiled 'pasta' then added to homemade shrimp scampi sauce (pictured below)!

With so many ways to spiral veggies there is endless healthy meals that can be made! Grab your own spiralizer and start cooking this healthy alternative!

Mmmmm now I may have to cook 'pasta' for dinner after writing this post!

Enjoy! xoxo
