5. Zucchini Noodles: A Low-Carb Pasta Alternative
Looking for a way to cut back on carbs while still enjoying pasta dishes? Zucchini noodles (or “zoodles”) are the answer. With just a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, you can transform zucchini into pasta-like noodles that are a delicious and nutritious substitute for traditional pasta.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Optional: Garlic, Parmesan cheese, and herbs for seasoning
