Zoodles (aka zucchini noodles) are spaghetti’s greener cousin. They resemble pasta in looks, but they bring a different flavor to the mix and they offer more bang for your buck when it comes to nutrient-density.
On the 4th, we celebrated Independence Day with great friends over a corn hole tournament and scrumptious food. One of my besties made an awesome, super simple zoodle dish, which inspired this Summer Zoodle Pasta. No sautéing, grilling or roasting needed. Just break out your trusty spiralizer, some zucchini squash and a few other fresh ingredients. You’ll have yourself a beautiful, nutrient-packed pasta perfect for a light dinner or colorful side. It’s also great for leftovers. Cheers!
