Enjoy Pasta Night Without the Guilt!

Ever since buying a Veggetti Spiral Peeler, I've been hooked and swapping pasta for zucchini noodles ever since. It's the best way to enjoy pasta night without the guilt! 

I've found this peeler to be the easiest way to make zucchini noodles, cucumber noodles, sweet potato spirals, spiraled beets and more. It's definitely one of my favorite cooking gadgets. But, anyway, back to the zoodles! 

Zucchinis are low in calories and rich in vitamins. They have a high water content and are full of fiber. This means they satisfy your appetite without spiking your blood sugar. Thanks to their antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, they are even great for dry skin! 

There are so many ways to prepare zucchini, here's one for you to try:

Zoodles! 

Ingredients: (serves 2)

Two zucchinis

Organic tomato sauce

2 cups Spinach

1 small Eggplant, diced

1 cup Mushrooms

1/2 Onion, chopped

Garlic powder

Parsley

Red pepper flakes

Sea Salt, to taste

EVOO

Directions:

Prep your sauce on the stove top.

Add veggies, spices and a splash of EVOO to your pot of sauce and sauté on medium for 25-30 minutes, stirring often

Spiralize the zucchinis and add to sauce pan to sauté for the last 4 minutes 

Serve hot and enjoy! 

Note: To use the Veggetti, just insert the vegetable into the desired end (there is an option for thick or thin noodles) and turn it to make the noodles come out. For larger vegetables like sweet potatoes, you'll have to cut pieces that are small enough to be inserted into the end. Also, if you don't cut a slice halfway into the vegetable before you start to make the noodles you'll end up with l-o-n-g strings of vegetables which would be pretty difficult to eat!
