My quick and easy zoodles recipe! – Blogilate

Hi Guys!

I’m sooooo excited to finally share with you guys how I make zoodles (aka zucchini noodles)! I eat these ALWAYS.

This is the easiest recipe ever. And do they taste good? um yes! A lot of people assume that zoodles are tasteless, but I promise you that’s not the case with this recipe.

A lot of people also assume that I’m replacing pasta with zoodles because I’m a carb hater. nope I’m actually against the idea that carbs are the enemy. The real reason I love zucchini instead of pasta is because eating pasta doesn’t make me feel good. The same applies to bread, crackers, rice and pastries. They just don’t fit my stomach well. I’m always on a mission to find delicious substitutes that my body can tolerate.

So no. Carbohydrates are not evil! Fruits and vegetables – some of the healthiest foods we can eat – ARE carbohydrates. But not all carbohydrates are created equal.

If you’re gluten sensitive or intolerant, or just want to fit a few more vegetarian servings into your meal, zoodles will be your new best friend! These are amazing on their own, but you can mix them up with regular pasta too.

Just look at this beautiful bowl of Zoodle delicacies…

What to serve with Zoodles

You can serve these as a main course OR a side dish! When I make this zoodles recipe, I usually top it with some marinara sauce and grill some chicken for protein (like the picture!). OMG sooo good. Here are some more serving ideas!

• Experiment with other proteins like shrimp or steak
• Top with a meat sauce
• Mix lentils into your sauce
• Serve with tofu or tempeh
• Instead of the sauce, mix with ghee, butter or vegan butter and top with nutritional yeast
• Top with pesto
• Serve with sautéed vegetables like tomatoes and spinach

If you’re wondering if I could talk about food all day… the answer is YES.

Anyway, here’s what I love about this zoodle recipe:

IT TASTES AMAZING – No, zoodles don’t have to taste like sadness. These are really good.

It’s easy and super fast – Just a pan and cook for a few minutes? I accept it.

Vegetables galore – This is one of the easiest ways to get your veggies in.

it fills – People always ask if eating tons of veggies and not processed carbs actually makes me feel full. And the answer is YES! Vegetables are full of fiber and fill me up. Combine that with a good dose of protein and I’m definitely full.

Zoodles basically go with everything – You can serve these with almost anything. I encourage playing around with condiments and sauces.
